Radio Rijnmond (AAC+)

In the Netherlands' listing Radio Rijnmond (AAC+) lands at 35 of 302, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The station's leading tag is 80's, shared with 5 other entries in the Netherlands. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

Worldwide it ranks 10 among 62 80's entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

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 d2e9xgjjdd9cr5.cloudfront.net. 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.
