I have left it (FIP Pop) running for quite a long time and it seems to
work quite well.

One issue compared to regular FIP stations is that it is using the
GraphQL API that is used by some of the Mouv' stations and not the
"regular" meta data one.
An issue with this is that it only lists the currently playing song
rather than a short list of previously/now/next playing.
In theory that should be fine but if their API does not update quickly
or my fetch for new data comes a bit late then it can lead to the
station logo appearing (I fall back to that around 20 seconds after the
scheduled end of the song).
With the other API I can skip through the list of upcoming songs to find
which one is in the time range which means a more seamless switch
between tracks.

Perhaps they are preparing to switch off the "regular" feed over the
coming months (or even weeks) and switching all to the new one, in which
case this behaviour will become the norm so I am taking a look to see if
I can improve things.
I'll have a better idea when they release the next version of the mobile
app with FIP Pop available.
