Free scripts

Change song
Change the song title with this simple PHP script. It saves your DJs from having to use the unreliable song field in the Winamp DSP when going on air.
Filesize: 952 B
Change song on multiple servers
This was requested by a customer who needed to update the current song on multiple servers, it's simply a combination of 'Change song' and 'Multi-server statistics'. This may be useful to others, particularly those using the Transcoding service and need to update several servers. Please note that if you have normal relays then you only need to update the primary server and the others will update from that.
Filesize: 1.15 kB
Direct listeners to their closest relay
This PHP script uses GeoIP to automatically generate a playlist with your relays listed in order of distance from the listener. This makes it more likely that listeners will connect to the closest server to their location. You will need to download the GeoLiteCity database separately (a link is included in the file).

Multi-server statistics
