La Popu

Among 171 stations in Argentina with pages here, this one is opened most often. Being first on that list is worth knowing mostly because it says where other listeners started, which is a better opening move than an alphabet.

The open count here is 111, a figure only a few hundred stations in the whole directory reach. It is a fair signal that the stream is reliable as well as popular, because a dead stream stops accumulating opens quickly once clients start failing on it.

Two stations in Argentina lead with the tag cuarteto, and La Popu is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The directory carries no bitrate for La Popu. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Argentina's stations that do report come in at a median of 96 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served from liveradio.mediainbox.net, an address two other entries in Argentina use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
