GunjanRadio

Position 338 of 565 puts this station in the middle of India's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

GunjanRadio broadcasts in Hindi, which is the language most of India's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the Hindi stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on India's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Where India's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC+. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream address on this entry points at streamasiacdn.atc-labs.com, which is where 7 other stations in India are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
