If you have an Icecast server, you can put a link to the Icecast status page (by default at port 8000) on your station's homepage, to provide an overview of available streams. See the chapter *Interface customization* for tips on theming the Icecast status page. You can also use Now Playing widgets (see the chapter *Exporting the schedule*) or HTML5 stream players (see the chapter *Stream player for your website*) to help grow your audience.
On an Icecast server, you can uncomment the *<directory>* section in the */etc/icecast2/icecast.xml* file to have your station automatically listed on the Icecast directory website <http://dir.xiph.org> which could help you pick up more listeners.
<!-- Uncomment this if you want directory listings -->
<directory>
<yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
<yp-url>http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url>
</directory>
The Indymedia stream directory at <http://radio.indymedia.org/en/yp> links to grassroots independent radio projects around the world. You can add your station to their list with an additional *<directory>* section, as follows:
<directory>
<yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
<yp-url>http://radio.indymedia.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url>
</directory>
Another stream directory service is provided by the Liquidsoap Flows! site <http://flows.liquidsoap.fm/>. The following section can be added to the file */usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap\_scripts/ls\_script.liq* after *add\_skip\_command(s)* on line 174, for a stream named '*ourstation*':
ourstation = register_flow(
radio="Rock 'n Roll Radio",
website="http://radio.example.com/",
description="Canada's most rockin' radio!",
genre="Rock",
user="",
password="",
streams=[("ogg/128k","http://streaming.example.com/libretime_128")],
ourstation)
For the time being, a stream can be registered on the Liquidsoap Flows! site with any username and password. Authenticated services may be offered in future.
