FIP Jazz (Hi-Fi)

In France's listing FIP Jazz (Hi-Fi) lands at 107 of 710, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

10 stations in France lead with jazz and FIP Jazz (Hi-Fi) is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 127 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past France.

On the same tag worldwide it is 18 of 127, which is inside the top quarter of every jazz station the directory carries.

The directory carries no bitrate for FIP Jazz (Hi-Fi). The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. France's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

FIP Jazz (Hi-Fi) publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.

36 of France's entries are served from stream.radiofrance.fr, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
