Posted by Radio Guy on November 7th, 2008

We’ve just made it really easy for our clients to publish their song history live onto their websites.

Just with all of the other server data, due to popular request - we’ve added some Javascript to our Wavepanel system, which allows clients to put the song history on their websites from their SHOUTcast servers.

Add SONG history from SHOUTcast to your website.

SHOUTcast Geo Location Listener Maps

Posted by Radio Guy on August 1st, 2008

Wavestreaming.com customers will now be able to view their current listeners in Map form. We have added live listener maps to ALL SHOUTcast streaming accounts.

Our system finds out the geographic location of your listeners based on their IP address, it can then use the Google Maps service to create a visual representation of where they are in the world.

It also provides useful information such as the player they are using (iTunes, WIndows Media, Winamp, Realplayer, Flash Player etc) and the amount of time they have been listening to the stream.

This is an exciting and new service for our SHOUTcast customers. As part of our ongoing development roadmap, this service will be included free with all SHOUTcast hosting accounts.

To sign up with Wavestreaming SHOUTcast and take advantage of our Geo Location Maps - visit our website;

We use Google Maps to allow you to keep a very close eye on your listeners, in real time.

Zoom in on your listeners. Try and spot the millenium wheel!
