There are 4 different audio streams for the station, all at different speeds that can hold different amounts of people:

56k - 100 available slots
24k - 10 available slots
128k - 50 available slots
WMA - ? available slots

So, when you see the number of listeners on the Now Playing window, that's a combination of all 4 streams. If you can't connect, then the stream you're trying to connect to is full (100/100 in the case of the 56k line). To get more available slots, more would have to be paid for (by the station) and allocated by the company that streams the station.

Just so everyone knows, anyone who donates to the station and gets the 128k link has a 100% chance of connecting, as I don't think we have over 50 subscribers.

Anything to add Avian or Jim?
