New web player now available!

We have updated our web player with some improvements. If you prefer the keep the old player on your website then there is no need to make any changes, it will continue to work as normal.

The new player features:

– Completely re-written to work properly with Shoutcast V2.5 as well as V1
– Add logo and background images
– Change the style and size of the player without editing your code
– New HTML5 players available (better compatibility with mobile devices, doesn’t require Flash plugin)
– Flash alternative still available, with HTML5 fallback
– More styles to be added

We recommend using the new code as the old player will no longer be updated.

We are testing new ways to monetize the player on free accounts, upgraded users are completely ad-free.
