Oxygen Love Songs

Oxygen Love Songs sits in the tail of Hungary's 118 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

The open count against Oxygen Love Songs is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 160 kbps median for Hungary. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The audio comes from oxygenmusic.hu:8443, and 13 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.
