Donau3FM

Out of 1,409 entries in Germany, this one ranks 240. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Pop music covers 8 of Germany's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

Across every country, Donau3FM is 7 of the 47 stations leading with pop music, by the same open count the country list uses.

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 format here is AAC, against a listing for Germany overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

Its audio comes from edge20.streamonkey.net. One other station in Germany streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
