(Germany)

(Germany) is deep in Germany's listing, at 915 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.

With two recorded opens, (Germany) 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.

(Germany) broadcasts in German, which is the language most of Germany's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the German stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Nothing else in Germany's listing leads with accoustic. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Germany's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

Its audio comes straight from netlabelorg.stream.laut.fm, an address unique to this entry in Germany's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
