To enter them into your mpd frontend, we use a terminal like this

mpc load http://lin2.ash.fast-serv.com:9022

NB we use the second line only, the first line is the title of the radio station

This will show in the playlist of ncmpcpp which can then be saved by CTRL+S, with the title of the radio station as the playlist title. Once we have saved the new radio station, we clear the playlist and then proceed with the second, and third, and onwards with each new station.

We have to be careful with the BBC radio stations, as they frequently change their frequency. So we run a bash script from cron every hour, and this is the script, named RadioStreams.sh
