where it says web hits and stream hits
is that the amount of people listening?
im streaming direct to my website (with Ads)
and a link back to here to hear also

my stream hits show 11,200
is that how many people are listening from my own site with the flash player on auto start?

Hi,

Web hits is the number of times your statistics have been viewed (either from the DNAS page, your control panel or website).

The number of stream hits is the amount of times that people have tuned in to your stream since the server was last started.

I hope this explains.

However, the number of hits doesn't necessarily refer to unique people. Most often than not, the number of unique people visiting your website is much lower than the number of hits.

Very true, the 'hits' is always a much higher number than you'd expect as it counts every single connection.
