As an aside to this, what may help log the number of listeners against a
time is I've released a beta of a utility called mediaMON which can look at
Shoutcast Servers(v1.9.x), Icecast and Windows Media Servers (the server has
to have MPM added, most vendors have). It runs on Linux (tested by me on
Ubuntu), Windows and Mac. It should also email you is a server goes down or
loses the encoded feed.(and it's free).

It's the first beta, so at some point once I get more feedback Beta 2 will
be released.

It writes a text file for each day as well. (I think I add the song/artist
at the end of each line).

Cheers, Richard
