Vanilla

Out of 71 entries in Bulgaria, this one ranks 13. 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.

Vanilla is the only station in Bulgaria whose first tag is chill out, out of 71 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Bulgaria does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only chill out station.

Vanilla streams at 160 kbps, above Bulgaria's median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 71% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

The stream is AAC. Bulgaria's dial is split across four formats rather than settled on one, with MP3 the commonest, so this station is on a well populated side of a genuinely mixed listing.

The stream address on this entry points at play.global.audio, which is where 11 other stations in Bulgaria are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
