Is there a limit to how many streams of one station can be listed?

If we fill up one page when searching the directory with a keyword of our station name, is that it? You won't allow any more to show up?

I guess you are referring to the YP directory at http://dir.xiph.org.
There is no direct limitation as to how many streams a server or cluster of servers can submit.

That said, please don't abuse our directory, we reserve the right to delist streams.

Not planning to abuse it. We have many simulcast streams using various bit rates and codecs...all are legit...and now we are trying out a new streaming provider so we have more than one stream listed at some bit rates...for now...until we decide which one to stay with. At first, some streams were not listing, which is why we asked.

If streams have same content and parameters, then they can be auto clustered. That means they will show up as one entry, but the returned playlist or data will have both listen URLs. In the current YP rollout that means following parameters have to be identical:
    Stream Name
    Content Type
    Bitrate (as indicated by the client)

In the new rollout we'll probably change this logic and start using/encouraging cluster passwords.
