Antenne Vorarlberg Musica Italiana

Out of 103 entries in Austria, this one ranks 23. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Nothing else in Austria's listing leads with italian. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The directory carries no bitrate for Antenne Vorarlberg Musica Italiana. 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. Austria's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Austria overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

12 of Austria's entries are served from web.radio.antennevorarlberg.at, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
