Hi ! All MP3 radio stations have disappeared from dir.xiph.org... Is this a bug or is this voluntary ?! Thanks, yomguy

Supporting non-free formats is not what Xiph exists for. Additionally, the load produced by the directory service was too much for our existing server - we'd consider re-introducing this support if someone rewrote the software to be vastly more efficient.
