I think something like:

"Copyright, license, and similar information for all music played on this 
station can be found on our web site at: blah blah blah."

should work. Send them to a page that lists every song playing on the station 
and then link from the song/artist list to a page with the info for that 
song.

The thing is that currently the URI requirements are absolute and not 
reasonable to the medium, so this will not work until the license is changed.

Or am I missing something?
