Radio München 256kb

At position 1295 of 1,409, this is one of the stations in Germany that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

With one recorded open, Radio München 256kb 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.

Radio München 256kb 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.

Among 1,409 stations in Germany here, this is the only one that puts independent music first. The independent music rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Germany. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The stream is served from stream.radiomuenchen.net, which no other entry in Germany uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
