Mettaswara Throwback 80

Mettaswara Throwback 80 is at 69 in a listing of 212. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

The open count against Mettaswara Throwback 80 is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Mettaswara Throwback 80 leads with pop, a tag 33 other stations in Indonesia use and one the country hub lists among its headline genres. If the country's sound is what brought you here, this is squarely part of it.

The stream is 64 kbps where Indonesia's median is 96. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

The stream address on this entry points at mettaswara.com:8700, which is where 14 other stations in Indonesia 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.
