why are there so many statons that stay on yourmuze, but dont work

there are tons of kroq stations that just play an add over and over, theres so many stations that play nothing. isnt that a waste of bandwith? why auto delete stations that people listen to? why not delete the tons of stations that do not work and nobody listens to like all the kroq staions?

Stations that loop endlessly through a message will escape the deletion process because there is always audio present, and that is the criterion for deleting an entry. Even when a station gets deleted, I've noticed that someone may soon add it back and in no time it becomes a dead station again. Another valid gripe is that a surprising number of stations are listed multiple times. It does seem a waste of bandwidth, but it is probably cheaper to tolerate it than have someone trawl through the listing looking for duplicates. Part of the blame for adding a station multiple times lies with the way station information is listed: it's left to the person listing it to provide as many or as few details as he wishes. For example, suppose I add (fictitious example) JAZZ station KLM3 Nepal 87.41 FM but list its details as <strong>Kazza FM news</strong> then I think that I'll be its only YOURMUZE listener; anyone else searching for it will not find it on YOURMUZE so will likely add it themselves, hence risk duplicating it (if they obtain the stream from a different URL).

I reckon we need a monitored thread: DELETE THIS STATION.

<em><strong>Despite this shortcoming, I'm sure you'll agree that YOURMUZE remains a fabulous net resource.</strong></em>
