Hindi Retro

Hindi Retro ranks 15 among 565 stations in India. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

With 150 opens recorded, this is one of the directory's heavily played streams. That is the strongest thing the public data says about any station, and it is still a measure of traffic through one directory rather than of audience.

Hindi Retro 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 128 kbps this is a typical stream for India by the one measure the directory carries.

The audio comes from stream.zeno.fm, and 108 other stations in India 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 India's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
