Qmusic Maximum Hits

Qmusic Maximum Hits is at 68 in a listing of 122. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

Qmusic Maximum Hits is the only station in Belgium whose first tag is dpgmedia, out of 122 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Belgium does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only dpgmedia station.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of Belgium's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 61% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

The format here is AAC+, against a listing for Belgium 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.

The stream is served from audio-streaming.qmusic.be, an address one other entry in Belgium uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
