Ретро FM Qazaqstan

Position 11 of 24 puts this station in the middle of Kazakhstan'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.

Ретро FM Qazaqstan broadcasts in Russian from Kazakhstan, one of 14 stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Kazakh, so these 14 entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.

Russian radio in this directory sits largely in Russia, Belarus and United States, with 575 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Kazakhstan 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.

Ретро FM Qazaqstan publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
