Play 90 Constanta

Among the 216 stations in Romania with pages, Play 90 Constanta is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

With one recorded open, Play 90 Constanta sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Romania's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Romania's listing without being one of its outliers.

Play 90 Constanta 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.

The stream is served from live.playradio.org:8443, which no other entry in Romania 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.
