Moode Audio is a great project and I also really like the internet radio functionality. Although I think the way it handles adding and removing stations could be improved.
Currently, the user is offered a default list of radio stations that can only be mass-deleted through the command-line. Following this method:

I don't think this is the best solution in the end. One of the things I like about the default radio stations in Moode is that they are curated. For instance, the urls of the streams are up to date and they come with a proper thumbnail. When you manually remove stations from Moode, it is hard to re-add them later, and even harder to get back the original niceness. Another problem is that new stations are added with updates, so you will have to keep maintaining your stations list.
Therefore I propose the following solution.
The radio stations stay in Moode but you can pick for yourself which stations stay and which ones do not. I imagine the option where all newly added radio stations (thourgh updates) are automatically added to your library (this is the situation as it currently is). But then there is another where you are given a list with all radio stations and you pick the ones you like with a checkbox. Newly added radio stations do not end up in your library by default but you can add them manually with a checkboxmark.
So where the default option is now: all stations are added, you change the list of radio stations by removing stations. I propose another default option: no stations are added, you change the list of radio stations by adding them manually from the curated list of Moode-stations.
