Technolovers FUTURE HOUSE

Technolovers FUTURE HOUSE is at 567 in a listing of 1,409. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

A dance station on a dial where dance is one of the commonest tags: 32 entries in Germany lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how Germany's broadcasters describe themselves.

At 192 kbps the stream is on the better side of Germany's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

The audio comes from stream.technolovers.fm, and 33 other stations in Germany are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Germany's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

Their address is technolovers.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.
