DFM - Chill

At position 330 of 471, this is one of the stations in Russia that almost nobody arrives at by browsing. That is the case for having a page at all. A station reachable only by knowing its name is a station most directories lose.

The open count against DFM - Chill is one, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Tagged ambient, along with 3 other stations in the country and 171 across the directory.

The stream is 96 kbps where Russia's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

Encoded as AAC+, one of the three formats Russia's stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

The stream is served from dfm-dfmchill.hostingradio.ru, which no other entry in Russia 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.
