Your numbers at a glance#

• Stations: how many stations you have, published and drafts.
• On air now: how many stations are streaming, and how many need attention.
• Listening now: the total number of listeners, as reported by your stream servers. Some hosts do not report listener numbers.
• Players: how many players you have designed and placed on your pages.

Your stations#

The list shows every station with its genre, bitrate, the song that is playing and the number of listeners. The live status refreshes every minute.

1. Use the tabs All, On air and Needs attention to filter the list. The arrows button refreshes the status now.
2. Click Edit to change a station. Drafts show Finish instead. The eye icon previews the station, and the ⋮ menu has more actions.
3. Click Manage all stations to open the full station manager with search and bulk actions.

Below the stations you find your Players. Click a player to open it in the builder, the arrow icon to preview it on your site, or New player to start from a template.
