LiSTNR - Drum & Bass

LiSTNR - Drum & Bass is at position 18 of the 140 stations in Australia with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

The directory carries no bitrate for LiSTNR - Drum & Bass. 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. Australia's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The stream is served from wz0liw.scahw.com.au, an address one other entry in Australia uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

Of everything the directory lists in Australia, the entry this page reads closest to is LiSTNR - Party, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The broadcaster tagged this entry drum and bass, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the pop tag and this one does not.
