JOE mp3

Out of 302 entries in the Netherlands, this one ranks 40. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Two stations in the Netherlands lead with the tag 70s, and JOE mp3 is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

On the same tag worldwide it is 11 of 62, which is inside the top quarter of every 70s station the directory carries.

At 128 kbps, this sits below most of the Netherlands' listing, whose median is 192 kbps. 77% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

8 of the Netherlands' entries are served from icecast-qmusicnl-cdp.triple-it.nl, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

The broadcaster publishes at joe.nl, on the Netherlands' own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
