Radio Maharani

In India's listing Radio Maharani lands at 37 of 565, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The directory counts 49 opens against this stream. That is well above India's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

Tagged added by shivam, along with 6 other stations in the country and 7 across the directory.

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.

8 of India's entries are served from streamasiacdn.atc-labs.com, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
