Radio Easy Rock

Radio Easy Rock is at position 88 of the 400 stations in Italy with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

6 stations in Italy lead with alternative rock and Radio Easy Rock is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 61 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past Italy.

On the same tag worldwide it is 12 of 61, which is inside the top quarter of every alternative rock station the directory carries.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Italy's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

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.

The stream address on this entry points at sphera.fluidstream.eu, which is where 9 other stations in Italy 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.
