Thanks a ton for working on this, Luca.  It's very much needed.

Those are easy to fix, so don't worry about them :)

Right.

Note the authors.xml is automatically generated from the AUTHORS,
MAINTAINERS, and MAINTAINERS.old in the toplevel directory, but you
included it in your patch.

That sounds reasonable, yeah.

Ok, now some general comments.  Could you remove the references to ID3? 
Generally that's a technical term the user shouldn't have to know.  I'd
prefer a just saying "song information" or something.

Related to this, you have a paragraph where you mention "no blocking";
that's another technical term.  I'd prefer to just say Rhythmbox is
designed to be fast and responsive.

Other than those minor quibbles, it looks good in general.

Repeat and shuffle don't make too much sense in iradio, maybe we should
just grey them out.  prev/next go to the previous and next station,
which is only vaguely useful.

Hard to say - I would just describe it as "streaming music" or
something.  At least "streaming" seems to be the popular term for this
that most users will be familiar with.

Yeah, I'll do that soon.
