Allzic Radio Jazz

Allzic Radio Jazz is at 246 in a listing of 710. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

With three recorded opens, Allzic Radio Jazz 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.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on France's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The format here is AAC+, against a listing for France overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

Allzic Radio Jazz streams from allzic40.ice.infomaniak.ch. No other station in France is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

The station's site is at global.superradio.cc, which sits under the .cc country domain rather than France's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
