New Start Pages in the Directory

We have just added new "Start" pages inside the radio directory for all clients that host with us. This is accessed by clicking on the title of the stream in the normal listings. Example below :



The new "Start" pages when available look like this at the moment : Dubthugz Radio



Here are the features we have so far :

1. Username as part of URL.
2. Flash Player (Auto play is on meaning you can just link people to your start page and they will be auto tuned in. Great for social networking sites).
3. Google Maps (only displayed when stations has "Google Maps widget" enabled from their control panel configuration).
4. Many Share Buttons (Share the station on many social networking sites. When people click your shared link the radio plays straight after they land on the start page).
5. Facebook Comments (Users can leave messages / comments about individual stations).

Here are some new features we are considering adding over time :

1. Mobile version of the page (will allow users to tune in via QR code to listen to your station).
2. Stations not hosted by us to be allowed start pages.
3. Other stations suggestions (we will list links to other stations liked by other users who also liked the one you are listening to).

As always we WELCOME any feedback / bugs / comments. Feel free to speak your mind : 8)

Update :

Radio stations who host with us can enable / disable the start page from their control panels using the option in

"Configure Server" > "Start Page" > "Activate start page: ".

The same page can also configure wether the google maps widget is displayed or not with the "Enable Google Maps® widget:" option.
