RauteMusik - TECHNO

In Germany's ordering this is number 390 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.

RauteMusik - TECHNO 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.

Only two entries in Germany put acid first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Germany's listing without being one of its outliers.

Its audio comes from streams.rautemusik.fm. Four other stations in Germany stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Their address is rm.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.
