Радио для двоих

Read as words rather than as a brand, the name says radio. That is the broadcaster's own description of the service, written in Cyrillic, and it is more specific than the tags the entry carries.

Position 84 of 471 in Russia. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

The directory records no language for Радио для двоих. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Russia's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream is served from icecast-radiofortwo.cdnvideo.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.

Of everything the directory lists in Russia, the entry this page reads closest to is Радио ЗВЕЗДА - Центральная Россия, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The two streams are served from different addresses, icecast-radiofortwo.cdnvideo.ru for this one and zvezda-radio128.mediacdn.ru for the other. This one is encoded as AAC+ and that one as MP3, which is a difference a browser can hear about before you can. The directory puts this stream at sixty-four kilobits and the other at one hundred and twenty-eight. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, icecast-radiofortwo.cdnvideo.ru and radiozvezda.ru.
