DFM - Vocal Trance

Out of 471 entries in Russia, this one ranks 53. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

Only two entries in Russia put trance first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

At 96 kbps, this sits below most of Russia's listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 53% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

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-trance.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.

Their site is dfm.ru, a domain registered in Russia. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
