Mention Icecast Radio Directory in the FAQ #45

Can you please mention the difference between radio-browser.info and Icecast Radio Directory in the FAQ?

The most important aspect is that radio-browser is community driven.

Icecast makes that list by channel owners choosing to list themselves, and Shoutcast is the same (and additionally maybe you need to pay to be listed in their directory?).

Well, that's also community-driven then, it's just the community of producers instead of the community of listeners. And it prevents vandalism (#93) because no one can edit a stream except for the owner.

And feature request: I think it would be good if Radio-Browser.info included the Shoutcast, Icecast, and Jamendo.org directories. They have a huge pre-made selection, and also VLC includes the Icecast and Jamendo directories natively; adding these to Radio-Browser would make RadioDroid more compatible with VLC.
