Kink Distortion

Position 136 of 302 puts this station in the middle of the Netherlands' directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

The open count against Kink Distortion is four, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

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.

The format here is AAC+, against a listing for the Netherlands 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.

Its audio comes from 22663.live.streamtheworld.com. Two other stations in the Netherlands stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
