Radio Cassette

In Chile's ordering this is number 30 of 99, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against Radio Cassette is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The classic rock corner of Chile's dial is three stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Chile's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The stream is served from sonic.mistreamingtv.uno, an address one other entry in Chile uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
