Jaipur radio

Among the 565 stations in India with pages, Jaipur radio is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

Jaipur radio 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.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with India's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for India overwhelmingly made of MP3. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where AAC has the advantage at lower rates.

The audio comes from streamasiacdn.atc-labs.com, and 7 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.
