bigFM Deutschrap rasiert

bigFM Deutschrap rasiert is deep in Germany's listing, at 975 of 1,409. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

The open count against bigFM Deutschrap rasiert is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

The audio comes from stream.bigfm.de, and 24 other stations in Germany are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Germany's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The nearest thing to this entry in Germany is Hamburg Zwei. They are not the same station, and these are the facts the catalogue holds that tell them apart. They are filed in different parts of the country: this one under Baden-Württemberg, that one under Hamburg. The two streams are served from different addresses, stream.bigfm.de for this one and frontend.streamonkey.net for the other. This one is encoded as MP3 and that one as AAC, which is a difference a browser can hear about before you can. The broadcaster tagged this entry deutschrap, german rap, maurice moore, rap and reece, which the other entry is not tagged with. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, bigfm.de and hamburg-zwei.de.
