DFM

DFM ranks 62 among 471 stations in Russia. 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.

Two stations in Russia lead with the tag dfm, and DFM is one of them. That is a small enough group to hear end to end, and the tags are the broadcasters' own words rather than a classification imposed here.

The directory carries no bitrate for DFM. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Russia's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

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.hostingradio.ru, an address one other entry in Russia uses as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
