COOLFM Jazz

In Hungary's listing COOLFM Jazz lands at 21 of 118, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

Jazz covers 5 of Hungary's entries. Tags on this site are always the broadcaster's own first tag and never a second one, because a station tagged five ways would otherwise appear on five shelves and turn each of them into a tag cloud.

Worldwide it ranks 15 among 127 jazz entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

COOLFM Jazz streams at 128 kbps, under Hungary's median of 160 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The audio comes from mediagw.e-tiger.net, and 20 other stations in Hungary 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 Hungary's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
