Radio Larzac

In France's ordering this is number 380 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 two recorded opens, Radio Larzac 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 leading tag is eclectic, shared with 7 other entries in France. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for France. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

Radio Larzac streams from stream.radiolarzac.org. No other station in France is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
