Report differentiating between Unique/Repeat listeners

16 votes

Please consider adding the total number of unique listeners (based on different ip address) over a given time frame. Currently the historical reports appear to only provide the total number of sessions. Unique listeners is better for understanding how many actual people listened (as opposed to the set of people listening several times a day). i.e. Are we reaching new listeners via marketing efforts, etc?

A report showing repeat listener count is useful for determining if people like what they hear.

This would be very useful!

More and more people are using VPNs. Those IPs would be recorded as "unique" even though they were repeat listeners. Based on that, it would render a report on unique listeners useless.

Add a feature to the system that keeps track of listener IPs. This info would be displayed on the broadcaster dashboard as hours listening to a certain station. Since we don't require user name and password, I'm not sure we would want to share this with listeners.

Knowing the number of unique listeners (or as accurate as possible) over a period of time is the most basic analytic necessity; the ability to tell a potential advertiser, "We have approximately [number] listeners..." It's the very first question they ask every time.
