It looks like the GFM radio stations are only broadcasting in the MP3
format. For various reasons - such as the fact that many Linux
distributions do not ship with an MP3 decoder - Rhythmbox does not
include any stations in the default list unless they are available using
a free codec such as Ogg Vorbis.

If you do have a non-MP3 format stream which I couldn't find, and you
would still like to have your station added, please file a bug on
http://bugs.gnome.org (against Rhythmbox) to request the addition.
