Listener Maps
SHOUTcast Listener Maps give you real-time geographic intelligence on your internet radio audience — showing exactly where in the world your listeners are tuning in from, the moment they connect to your stream.
What Are SHOUTcast Listener Cluster Maps?
Listener Cluster Maps are interactive, real-time geographic visualizations that pinpoint every active listener on a live world map. Powered by open-source mapping technology, the clusters automatically group nearby listeners as you zoom out, giving you an instant overview of your global audience — then break apart into individual pins as you zoom in for city-level detail.
- Real-time data: The map updates live as listeners join or leave your SHOUTcast or Icecast stream.
- Click-through details: Tap any marker to see granular information about each visitor, including their approximate location.
- Global coverage: Whether you have 10 listeners or 10,000, the map scales beautifully across every continent.
- Open-source backend: Built on Open Maps — free, transparent, and privacy-respecting.
