Radio Delfino

Position 224 of 400 puts this station in the middle of Italy's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

With two recorded opens, Radio Delfino sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Italy's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The station's leading tag is oldies, shared with 4 other entries in Italy. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

The stream is 96 kbps where Italy's median is 128. 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 format here is AAC+, against a listing for Italy 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.

Radio Delfino streams from nr8.newradio.it. No other station in Italy is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
