Rock Antenne Österreich (AAC)

Position 9 of 103 in Austria. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

The directory carries no bitrate for Rock Antenne Österreich (AAC). 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.

Where Austria's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from s1-webradio.rockantenne.at, which no other entry in Austria uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
