Chinese Music World

Among the 391 stations in China with pages, Chinese Music World is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

The open count against Chinese Music World is four, 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.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

An OGG stream on a MP3 dial. The public directory records the format as the server reports it, and formats this far off the beaten track usually indicate somebody running their own encoder rather than a hosted service.

Its audio comes from radio.chinesemusicworld.com. One other station in China streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
