Ideas for making radio/streaming integration even better #361

I'm a radio enthusiast and Loxone user. Excited to see what Sonn-Audio achieved in such a short time! I especially love the new player: Beautiful designed and good usability.

Here are some ideas for making radio experience even better:

a) Support Playlists Formats in streaming URL: Up to now Sonn-Audio supports pure streams in MP3, AAC, OGG oder FLAC. But most open radios wrap them in playlist in the formats PLS or M3U. Supporting that two formats will make it easier to keep track with streaming servers that may change over time. Should be an easy task.

b) Integrate famous free internet stations as presets: There is already the integration for Radio Paradise. This could be advanced by e.g. Soma FM https://somafm.com/listen/ or Public /National Radios as presets. In Germany e.g. all ARD-Radios and in Austria ORF or complete list of UK's BBC Radio.

c) Integrate index of web radios so users can search for station without knowing the URL. One good source would be radio-browser, the wiki-like community driven station list with free and open API. See https://www.radio-browser.info resp. https://api.radio-browser.info
