<font size="+1">Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I'm running "Radio Unicorns" for one year now, transmitting live
coverage of one of Germanys best american football teams, the
Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns. Technically, it's a root server running
freebsd and the latest icecast. I had up to several hundred
concurrent listeners this year and had the server tested up to
2000 listeners (had to tweak a few kernel parameters to achive
that). The icecast server was our least problem, it just ran
flawlessly.<br>
<br>
One problem we're facing is how to propagate our service. The
users looking at the team's website with a PC and a standard
browser like Firefox, Chrome or IE just click on the link with the
proper .m3u-File to listen to our radio, but the users with
smartphones (iPhone & Android) have more problems. There are
lots of apps out there that can listen to a .mp3-stream, but most
of these apps don't show our server when searching for "Radio
Unicorns". I listed our radio on xiph.org, but there have to be
more public directories, because no app I checked finds Radio
Unicorns when searching for it. There are lots of small radio
stations listed in these apps, but I wasn't able to find out where
these apps are looking for station listings and how to add our
station to it.<br>
<br>
If anyone out there could point me to these services, I'd be
grateful. Thanks in advance!<br>
<br>
Martin<br>
