Dresden

This is one of the quieter entries in Germany's listing, at 1208 of 1,409. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With one recorded open, Dresden 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.

Hardstyle/handsup/edm is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Germany uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

320 kbps against Germany's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 62% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.

Its audio comes straight from main.stream.primal.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.

Their address is primal.fm. A .fm address says the broadcaster wanted a radio sounding domain, not that the station is in Micronesia, which is where that domain actually comes from.
