BeatsRadio

Position 236 of 1,409 in Germany. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

BeatsRadio shares its leading tag, beats, with two other Germany entries. Across every country the directory has 8 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

BeatsRadio reports no bitrate to the directory. Rather than print a zero or invent an average, the page says nothing, which is the same policy every empty field on this site gets.

BeatsRadio streams in AAC while most of Germany's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

The stream is served from live.streams.klassikradio.de, an address two other entries in Germany use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

BeatsRadio keeps its own site at beatsradio.de. The address sits under Germany's country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
