Magic Party Mix

Magic Party Mix ranks 7 among 216 stations in Romania. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Tagged 80s, along with 3 other stations in the country and 131 across the directory.

On the same tag worldwide it is 11 of 131, which is inside the top quarter of every 80s station the directory carries.

Magic Party Mix streams at 80 kbps, under Romania's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The format here is AAC, against a listing for Romania 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 live.magicfm.ro, an address two other entries in Romania use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
