How it works
Whole Wheat Radio does its best to determine where you're listening from.
If you've supplied your geographic location, this is what will be shown under the Region column, along with your IP derived location below it in brackets. Clicking the links in this column will take you to it's Wikipedia page where you can learn about it!
The listener list is updated every time a new song starts playing.
My IP derived location?
Generally speaking, when you browse the internet your internet provider assigns you an IP address. By using services such as Find-ip-address (and to a lesser extent Geobytes), we can determine from your IP address where you're listening from. By clicking the addresses in the IP Address column, you can also see what Utrace knows about it, including its location.
Due to some technical reasons, it's not always possible for these services to be completely accurate, so at times you may see bizarre or incorrect locations. This is not a fault of Whole Wheat Radio.
What Whole Wheat Radio knows
There are 3 components that WWR knows about listeners:
- The IPname of every listener. This is assigned by non-WWR software to your audio player software.
- The IPname of everyone who is browsing the website. This is assigned by non-WWR software to your browser. Your IP is $wwr_your_ip right now and when translated from that number to what is called the hostname, the translation is $wwr_your_hostname.
- The login name of everyone who is signed on and browsing the website. This is assigned by the WWR software when you login. Your login name is currently $wwr_user_username
Unfortunately, the IPname your audio player get assigned is not always the same IPname that you get when browsing the website. (This is a function of your software and your ISP, not WWR.) If these IPnames are not exactly the same, WWR has no way of correlating a listener with their login name. In that case, you will see the IPname assigned to the audio player in the 'Who' column. Only those people who are actually logged in and have been assigned an identical IPname for both their audio player and their browser will have their username in the 'Who' column. Everyone not meeting those conditions will have their IPname listed in the 'Who' column.
In case you're not listed by name but are definitely signed in and listening, here's some useful information about the IPname assigned to your browser. If you see an IPname that is very close to this in the listener list, then that's most likely you.
