Russian Lounge

Russian Lounge is at 232 in a listing of 471. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

The open count against Russian Lounge is three, 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.

Russia's directory presence is led by Russian, with 78 stations broadcasting in English behind it. Russian Lounge is one of that second group, large enough that the country hub prints it as its own bar rather than folding it into a remainder.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

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

The stream is served from muzdolet.com, 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.
