One FM Dance

One FM Dance is at position 23 of the 216 stations in Romania with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

The country's dial has two sizeable languages on it and this station is on the smaller one. 59 entries in Romania broadcast in English, against a listing whose commonest language is Romanian.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of Romania's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 83% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

One FM Dance streams in AAC while most of Romania's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

Its audio comes straight from live.onefm.ro, an address unique to this entry in Romania'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.
