Reintroduce the API for statistics relay
I would like to see Live365 re-implementing an API to enable broadcasters to obtain the amount of currently active listeners on the new dashboard.
Background:
My radio playout automation software mAirList uses the Icecast-reported number of listeners to log that data together with the playout history, thereby enabling broadcasters to determine statistically which songs are most likely to lose or gain listeners.

Mary AliceI think this is a critical. Knowing who is listening and when will help to build listenership. It does me no good to find out 24 hours later how many people listened at some time yesterday!! We need useful metrics.

SSCR TampaI understand this is a feature for those on the Broadcast 4 and 5 packages. But for those not yet able to pay thousands of dollars each quarter for premium service (that is well worth the cost, I'm sure!) having meaningful reporting on listeners-- even if it comes in the form of bare bones raw data that we need to track ourselves through spreadsheets or databases-- would be invaluable to helping us to grow our stations.
