DR P4 København (AAC)

The directory lists two streams in Denmark under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number four. Nothing here is taken from the other one.

DR P4 København (AAC) is at position 6 of the 47 stations in Denmark with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

The audio comes from drliveradio1.akamaized.net, and 11 other stations in Denmark are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Denmark's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The nearest thing to this entry in Denmark is DR P6 BEAT (AAC). They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. The number each one is named for is the difference between them: four here and six there. The broadcaster tagged this entry regional radio, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the beat tag and this one does not.
