The things you critisize are features that the stations themselves broadcast, we listeners have no say in those.
With almost 50 000 free web radio stations around the world now available, quality varies in all regards, that is a given.
But this service sure makes it easy to find and add to our favourites the stations we personally prefer.
If a user adds a new station to the radiobrowser worldwide database, he can only add a webpage favicon.
Radiobrowser is like the wiki for web radio stations, open source and free for all.
Here anyone can add a new/missing web radio station to the database:

Your statement "The things you critisize are features that the stations themselves broadcast, we listeners have no say in those." is completely bogus. You can get the high quality logo art and metadata right from the broadcasters Website in most cases. Thats primarily what's used to populate Moode's radio station feature.
The fact these radio aggregators just scrape or store only low quality, incorrect or even missing metadata is not due to the broadcaster its the fault of the aggregator.
You may not care about quality logo art or accurate metadata but many others do including myself and thats the intended audience for our curated radio feature.
But as @the_bertrum mentioned a dev could volunteer their time and effort to create a new "radio browser" feature and propose that it be added to moode. If it's a good quality feature I'll work with the dev to test and refine it.
