As you would see if using an editor with proper syntax highlighting, you 
are starting a comment with <!--
but not ending it properly with --> so it will ignore everything below 
until a --> and additionally I think
it should be utf-8 instead of UTF8. And why are you using a mount-name 
with .m3u? That is not correct unless that is the same you use in 
Nicecast. But that would be wrong anyway as you are not streaming in m3u 
but in either mp3 or something else.

Try to change your config to:

<mount>
	<mount-name>/anonradio</mount-name>
	<charset>utf-8</charset>
</mount>

Oh an do not forget to end the comment with --> Like so:
