"I have a few trolls who make it their mission to request the same song every time the cool down on their request happens. I have it set to 15 minutes and any longer feels like I'm punishing the majority for the sake of stopping the few.

Anyway to add certain IPs to a list that cannot use the request song feature?"

This is a nice feature and should be implemented, and while this is not available my sugestion to those who need this, use UFW on your server. Just install using apt-get install ufw and then follow this:

To block all network connections that originate from a specific IP address, 15.15.15.51 for example, run this command:

sudo ufw deny from 15.15.15.51
In this example, from 15.15.15.51 specifies a source IP address of “15.15.15.51”.

Learn more about if before enabling UFW. Cheers!

As of the latest Rolling Release version, if you've banned an IP, country or User Agent from connecting to your stream, that same IP/country/UA will be unable to submit a song request to your station; this can be useful for banning a single IP address range from both simultaneously.
