Bassdrive HTTPS

At position 970 of 1,409, this is one of the stations in Germany that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

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

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Germany's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Its audio comes straight from ice.bassdrive.net, an address unique to this entry in Germany's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
