Which Hit????

What is the difference between 'WEBHITS' and 'STREAMHITS' on the stats page?

I believe that web hits are the number of calls to the web interface, and stream hits are the amounts of hits to your stream.

Thanks - I think you're right. I did some tests and thats what it showed. I can't see how WEBHITS are of any use since the stats programs increase the number each time they grab stats. 'STREAMHITS' are of some use because they tell you how many have listened to your stream - but not how may 'different' listeners. Do you know of any program that gets the stats and puts them in any kind of form. For example, it would count the same IP as one listener - even if they listened several times in a day - and it would show time spent listening - times of day etc?
