Broadcaster
3.0 allows you to easily track your listener activity in a graphic
chart form or by IP address.
Note:
Listener monitoring functionality will be improved and expanded
in future versions of the RadioDestiny Broadcaster 3.
List of Individual
listeners
Click on the yellow Listeners button in the main interface
to call up your Listener monitor.
The first screen
(white background) displays the unique IDs of each listener who
is currently connected to your station. The ID information displayed
is the individual IP of the listener. In this way you can see if
you have regulars who keep on connecting to your station. 
The listener
display can be 'torn away' and adjusted by sizing. (click on the
edge and drag to the desired size. In the unlikely event that you
want to boot someone from your station you can click on their ID
and then click on the Disconnect button at the bottom of the window.
Listener
graphs
Along the bottom of the window are three buttons that bring up graphs
showing listener activity over a period of 1 Day, 10 Days or Total
time since you began broadcasting. When you click either of the
buttons it will show you a line graph showing spikes of activity.
These lines are separated into a green, blue and red line.

By looking at
this you can see how most of your listeners are accessing your station.
Tip:
If the spikes in your graphs aren't distinct (too low to be seen)
this is due to the number of maximum listeners you have allowed
for in your Broadcast Settings. The graph is setting the range
according to how many you think you may be receiving at a time.
If you have it set to 100 maximum listeners, the graph range will
be very high but if you only get 1 listener, it will show up as
a mere pixel on the graph screen. To change this, go to the Settings
-> Connection Settings
screen and adjust your maximum listeners to a more realistic number.
It is important to set the maximum # to something that your bandwidth
can support.
