You really can't.... An Icecast server will show the number of concurrent connections, but if you're being re-distributed by RadioBox or MyTuner (and any of the other hundreds of aggregators) each aggregator will count for just one connection and may itself have thousands of listeners!

One on-line station that I've engineered shows (typically) 8 - 9000 connections at their primary server, but Tune-In claim that they have (typically) 17400 Tune-In listeners at peak at weekends and they're on another couple of dozen other aggregator sites too.....

It's really difficult to add up all the listeners to your stream!
