Icecast stats

hi,

Icecast is really a great tool that is easy and quick to use even 
without extreme technical skills, and I am very happy with it.
Works PERFECT !

But what about the... stats ?!
The stats seem very complex to extract and process, with code and 
external solutions...
However, the needs are generally super simple: datetime, songs, IP in a 
log file every 3 minutes and... that's it!
Why didn't they make a simple system like that?

Please how do you manage the stats of your radio stations?

Thank you,
Marc - France
