БАРХАТ

This is one of the quieter entries in Russia's listing, at 361 of 471. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

Джаз 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 БАРХАТ. 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 stream is OGG, which is unusual anywhere: Russia's listing is dominated by MP3. Formats outside the common three are typically a deliberate choice by a broadcaster who cares about the encoding chain, and they are also the ones most likely to give a browser trouble.

Its audio comes straight from radio.albrin.online:9000, an address unique to this entry in Russia's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
