= NPR on XBMC =

This add-on for XBMC allows access to all available NPR streams and
most podcasts.  It achieves this by querying the API found at
'http://api.npr.org/stations.php' for the streaming stations that each
NPR station publishes.  For purposes of speed I have
pre-compiled a list of all NPR stations that have at least one live
stream (npr_stations.csv).  The script 'stations.py' can be used to
generate a new csv file if necessary.
