But if you run the numbers on the ATH max that they provide as the "cap" to fall into the 'microcaster' category, it **literally means you can't have one connected, 24/7 listener**. You have to have 0 listeners for part of the day to even qualify to *be* a microcaster. So while it's nice to see a concession like that make an appearance, it was a pointless, crippled offer -- one of their patented SoundExchange "Non-Offer Offers"(tm) ...
