Topfm

Rank 38 of 38 in Lithuania. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The directory records no opens at all for Topfm. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

At 320 kbps, Topfm streams at more than double Lithuania's median of 160 kbps. That is a deliberate choice by whoever runs it: bandwidth is the recurring cost of an internet station, and a rate this far above the local norm is money spent on sounding better than the dial around it.

Its audio comes straight from radio.topfm.lt, an address unique to this entry in Lithuania's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
