Toutes les couleurs du trad

Toutes les couleurs du trad is at 307 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.

Toutes les couleurs du trad is the only station in France whose first tag is celtic, out of 710 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in France does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only celtic station.

The stream is 96 kbps where France's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Where France's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from my2.radiolize.com, which no other entry in France uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
