What does "in this room: 25" mean? The number remains the same when I change the station. Is there only a single room and I changed the station for everybody? Or are there 25 people in every room (=station)? :-)

It's the current visitors. I liked the word "room" to make you feel like you're in good company, but maybe it'd be better to just write "live now". What do you think?

I'd go for "listening now" or "currently listening". I also assumed the "room" was the what I see now is called "station".
Counting the listeners in a station instead of visitors site-wide would be kinda neat though, and "room" works well then I think.
edit: or maybe "in the cafe" for site-wide visitors? That should be clear and has the same feeling as "room".
Fully agree with everything you said!
"In the room XXX" really confused me because I thought I were in room XXX. (There's at least a colon missing after "room"!)
I love "listening now", just changed it!
I like the "room" terminology. Maybe just make it clearer that it's not a room number, but the number of people hanging out in the room with you?
I like in the room - I agree it is cozier - in the cafe as suggest below is also nice
It's the number of current visitors, I guess?
