EPIC CLASSICAL - Classical Study

In Germany's ordering this is number 633 of 1,409, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

The open count against EPIC CLASSICAL - Classical Study is four, 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.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Germany's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The audio comes from stream.epic-classical.com, and 20 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 Deejay Mixes!. 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 north rhine westphalia, that one under Deutschland und NRW. The two streams are served from different addresses, stream.epic-classical.com for this one and breakz-high.rautemusik.fm for the other. The broadcaster tagged this entry adult contemporary, ambient, classical, jazz, klassik and music for study, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the dj mixes, house, lounge and top40 tags and this one does not.
