The map isn't based on registered users, it simply knows the area the stream is being sent to and records that. So if you're in China listening over a VPN, you'd show up as a listener in some other country, I guess.
i say we get seti to broadcast rp into the center of the universe and see what happens who knows maybe we'll have some little green peeps pull into the area 51 cosmic rest stop, rotate their dilithium crystals, get out to stretch their tentacles and pick up a couple of slim jim's from the vending machine
Spectacular new website. And related swag. I still have one of the original mouse pads and just ordered a new one! Plus a new hat. Love the new font! Same colors - except the red got dropped (I think). Fantastic.

Community Map (a nice to have...)
Just wondering at your next review whether you can make the map 'zoomable' as there are a number of smaller nations/territories that you just can't pinpoint your mouse precisely enough over.
Might also be fun to occasionally give a shout out to "the one listener in countryX" or "the 3 of you in countryY" from time to time to help build the global reach. There may well be regular listeners in some of the 'zero' countries who simply haven't created a profile and this might give them a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks to you guys I've got to know Cracker's 'Sidi Ifni'. Thanks to the ups and downs of life, the lyrics have been quite poignant for me this last year and so (over a coffee break) I dug the place out on Google Earth which aided my appreciation of the track even further. How cool would it be if one of the 14 listeners in Morocco was actually based in Sidi Ifni itself? There will be plenty of other similar global connections within your listener base I'm sure.
In the meantime, thank you for the music, good job!

Is there a way to post facebook images, or any non-standard xxx.jpg format (like google search images)?
You can, but some of them seem to confuse our editor and require being added manually in source mode.
Additionally it seems like some of those are time limited.
Eventually we'll get it so you can upload pics and avoid that.
I like the option of switching between album art and the slideshow, but could RP put that option as a radio button on the dashboard instead of hiding that option under the gear button?
Also would love to see my ratings for songs when they're listed in a left-side column. Right now I have to click on a song to see if I've already rated it.
One thing I've noticed and kinda' disliked about the new player here at RP
is that I can't put the artist/song/wiki entry next to each other at the top of
the page and have the comments down the page so that I'm not hit with
the comments at the top of every page, even if I don't want to be.
In other words, is there a "hide comments" button that I'm missing?
Other than that, I'm really enjoying the new player. Nice 'remodel'.
I believe a different system may be in the works. Or not.
Personally, I am indifferent as whether the Song Suggestions comes back or not. Always got the impression that they did not figure as that important in regards to selecting new music.
But I would prefer to see the number of plays over the last month come back. It acted often as a pretext to listen more carefully.

If we could see the number of our song rating; rather than just the color, that would be great. For whatever reason, on my monitor anyway, the color of the heart looks a touch different than the color bars in the 1-10 column.
