Radio DS mumbai

At position 487 of 565, this is one of the stations in India that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

Two recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

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 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.
