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?
