Générations Dancehall

Out of 710 entries in France, this one ranks 128. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

The dancehall corner of France's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

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.

Générations Dancehall streams from generations-dancehall.ice.infomaniak.ch. No other station in France is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
