LISTENER DEVICES
As usual, listeners from virtual worlds like Second Life and games continue to be the primary listening audience for XRadio, but continued growth outside of the metaverse is also ongoing. 67% of XRadio listeners came from within virtual world grids in 2022. Since we are heard on multiple commercial and private areas across multiple grids like Second Life, OSgrid, Kitely and more; this is to be expected. Fmod is the system that most virtual world viewers incorporate for streaming audio.
Outside of the metaverse and gaming communities, the embedded stream player on the website and our placement in multiple online radio directories has helped to reach even more listeners. About 14% of the listeners in 2022 have listened through the web player.
