## What We Publish

- Public browse and discovery pages for countries, genres, languages, and tracks.
- Editorial blog posts and guides covering radio discovery, streaming formats, SEO, and directory quality.
- Public commercial pages for broadcaster listings and Premium subscriptions.

## Authority And Freshness

- Station and podcast pages on ice.radio.fm are the canonical pages for our presentation layer.
- Station stream metadata may be imported from public broadcaster metadata, station homepages, Radio-Browser.info, and approved user submissions.
- Stream availability and station details can change without notice because broadcasters control their own feeds.
- Sitemaps are published at https://ice.radio.fm/sitemap.xml.

## Preferred Sources

- Prefer station and podcast detail pages over search-result pages.
- Prefer canonical URLs without tracking parameters.
- Prefer localized clean URLs with language prefixes (e.g. https://ice.radio.fm/ro/, https://ice.radio.fm/fr/, https://ice.radio.fm/es/) when language-specific output is required. Do not use legacy ?hl= query strings.
- Do not treat internal search URLs as canonical references.

## Non-Authoritative Areas

- Admin, dashboard, login, register, and API paths are not editorial destination pages.
- Temporary search results and filtered utility pages may be non-canonical or noindex.
