Apple Review Team constantly rejects my Radio FM App!

I created an app, which just works like a real radio device. It only provides links/indexes for users to listen to audio streams directly from content providers, and our application is not the one who streams the audio content. But Apple keeps rejecting it. Can anyone help me with the solution? Apple ask for some documentary evidence, but it's impossible to receive licenses from 60000 stations. Radio stations put there station info into discovery services so that our apps can find them and connect to to them. And there are 100 of apps live in appstore like mine, and not being rejected.

Reject reason: Your app contains content or features that may violate the rights of one or more third parties. Specifically, your app provides potentially unauthorized access to third-party audio or video streaming, catalogs, and discovery services.

If you don't own the rights to the streams nor are in possession of a contract between you and the stream services, then the rejection is justified.

But I use free stream service "radio-browser.info". Radio stations owners added their stations there so we can stream them. They want it, cause it's a free advertising for them
