357

Position 9 of 228 in Poland. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

The directory counts 35 opens against this stream. That is well above Poland's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

357 has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Poland on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Poland 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 from n-11-26.dcs.redcdn.pl, which no other entry in Poland uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

The broadcaster publishes at radio357.pl, on Poland's 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.
