NRK P1

The directory lists two streams in Norway under this name, told apart by a number alone. This page is number one. Nothing here is taken from the other one.

This is one of the quieter entries in Norway's listing, at 44 of 66. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Norway's stations typically run 159. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Norway 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.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.
