BOB! Metallica

At position 982 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.

With two recorded opens, BOB! Metallica sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Germany's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The directory carries no bitrate for BOB! Metallica. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Germany's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The audio comes from streams.radiobob.de, and 44 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.

BOB! Metallica and RADIO BOB MetallicA are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. The broadcaster tagged this entry metal, which the other entry is not tagged with.
