Braintrip Radio

In Luxembourg's ordering this is number 6 of 9, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

Braintrip Radio is the only station in Luxembourg whose first tag is krautrock, out of 9 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Luxembourg does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only krautrock station.

At 128 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Luxembourg's dial, whose median is 256 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Braintrip Radio streams from stream.laut.fm. No other station in Luxembourg is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears 74 times in total.

The station's own site is laut.fm. The .fm domain has nothing to do with FM radio or with where a station is: it belongs to the Federated States of Micronesia and has been sold to broadcasters worldwide for years, so read it as branding rather than as a location.
