Is it possible to use this application without it displaying the # of users listening to the broadcast for the listeners? So many stations being broadcast are really good & cool but look like they stink because there are only 2-5 folks tuned in.
Having the # of listeners in public view is misleading..........can we opt out somehow? If you look at FM broadcasts that stream too they don't have the # of listeners posted in view.
Not at the moment. We wouldn't agree that just because a station doesn't have many listeners its likely to stink. At the moment the amount of listeners is the best indicator we have of a quality station. What would you suggest we sorted by ?
After we gather enough data from the 'Favourites' function we plan on offering sorting by that instead which we feel would be a alternative way of sorting. We are also working on a tune-ins logging mechanism which will be a further option to sort by in the future.
We would like to point out that you cant opt-out but we do prioritise our internal servers over other stations in our website directory (although not Facebook at the moment although this may change in the future).
Interesting point though, thanks for your feedback
