Why? (IOW, why not just have one playlist with all the stations?)
You could, but then you don't have control over the name in the DB and it may not show a name you recognize. With playlists you have full control of the name. Either way would work though!
Yeah, I was just now playing with this, and realized it's actually the answer to a Wish I submitted over a year ago. Just doesn't seem right that MM is allowing a media source to update its own tags! Pragmatically, your suggestion is about as good a workaround for (what I see as) this defect as I've heard. Thanks!

What if I want multiple streams, do I create multiple playlists?
