Fréquence 3 World (Flac)

Among the 710 stations in France with pages, Fréquence 3 World (Flac) 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.

Fréquence 3 World (Flac) has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in France on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Twice the local median and then some: 1536 kbps where France's stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

The stream is OGG, which is unusual anywhere: France's listing is dominated by MP3. Formats outside the common three are typically a deliberate choice by a broadcaster who cares about the encoding chain, and they are also the ones most likely to give a browser trouble.

The stream address on this entry points at frequence3.net-radio.fr, which is where 7 other stations in France are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
