Chris, Thanks for the response.
I'm sure I'm not telling anyone anything new but the problem with this approach is that it has the potential for abuse in that broadcaster's can set up multiple statistical relays for his stream(s) (and even anyone else's) and the sum of all the numbers get added together which pushes the station further up the directory of stations list. I don't know if its possible but there ought to be a way for SAM to create a verifiable means to determine the actual number of listeners to each stream by adding up all the bits and dividing by the bitrate. That would require some kind of coordination with the stream hosting server if SAM wasn't working from the server like 1.FM does. If that's not possible, I would suggest A/R consider breaking the directory into primary genre and then organizing them in either alphabetical or A/R number order in each genre like iTunes does. The listing order could be rotated from month to month; low to high and high to low in order to make things more fair. Ciao, Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher A.
