Streams Titles by user

Managed to add a few streams which is 👍 

I'd like to add my own title as well as the generated one.

You can add your own Title via the naming feature if you create the stream via an M3U playlist, but that wording will be overridden if the radio station broadcasts its own song information. I do agree that is not always ideal though, as those old song details will no longer be relevant but are still remembered and displayed in the Category List instead of the actual station details.

Exactly that.

I can use a different album art picture to differentiate stations but that's not always differentiating enough,1.FM stations being one.

I'd just like to name the streams after their respective names not the current DJ/artist/song etc

I have the same issue, streams providing strange meta data, it would be great to be able to set your own name instead of whatever is provided by the stream.

I think perhaps the best way to handle this would be to use the title of the Station in the player screen and in lists in all cases except when a channel is currently playing, in which case any transient stream-provided song info should be shown. But as soon as playback is stopped, the Title/Artist/etc info reverts back to the original station details as the song details will quickly become obsolete.
