Record Hard Bass

Record Hard Bass ranks 74 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.

Hard bass is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in Russia uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

The directory carries no bitrate for Record Hard Bass. 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.

The audio comes from radiorecord.hostingradio.ru, and 40 other stations in Russia are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Russia's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
