HouseTime.FM

Out of 1,409 entries in Germany, this one ranks 136. 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.

Deep house covers 4 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.

On the same tag worldwide it is 5 of 45, which is inside the top quarter of every deep house station the directory carries.

At 256 kbps, HouseTime.FM streams at more than double Germany's median of 128 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Where Germany's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

HouseTime.FM streams from listen.housetime.fm. No other station in Germany is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

HouseTime.FM publishes at housetime.fm. Worth a note because .fm is a country domain that stopped meaning its country a long time ago: it is Micronesia's, and it is used by radio stations everywhere for the obvious reason.
