Distorsion FM FLAC

Distorsion FM FLAC broadcasts in English from Chile, one of 14 stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Spanish, so these 14 entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Nothing else in Chile's listing leads with flac. 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.

Twice the local median and then some: 1200 kbps where Chile's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

The stream is OGG, which is unusual anywhere: Chile's listing is dominated by MP3. Formats outside the common three are typically a deliberate choice by a broadcaster who cares about the encoding chain, and they are also the ones most likely to give a browser trouble.
