Shoutcast search API and JSON

Well. This API is buggy. I don't know if this is because of migration but this is what happens:

If I construct a request to the /advancesearch bit and indicate what format I want output in then request it several times in a row, the API often will give me wrong format. The formats are xml, rss and json. So even if I explicitly indicate which format I want it is not guaranteed the output will be in this format.

Question is what was wrong with the old API that actually work reliably and now is offline?
