Aïoli Radio

In France's ordering this is number 398 of 710, 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.

With one recorded open, Aïoli Radio sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in France's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The station's language is French, the commonest of the six the directory records for France. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the French shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

At 256 kbps, Aïoli Radio streams at more than double France's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

The stream is served from stream.aioli-radio.org, an address one other entry in France uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
