Radio Łódź

Rank 189 of 228 in Poland. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

With one recorded open, Radio Łódź sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Poland's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

The directory records no language for Radio Łódź. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

At 160 kbps the stream is on the better side of Poland's dial, where the median is 128 kbps. Not dramatically so, and bitrate is only one of several things that decide whether a stream sounds good, but it is the one the directory records.

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.

Its audio comes straight from stream.radiolodz.pl, an address unique to this entry in Poland's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
