Café del Mar CALM

Café del Mar CALM is at position 51 of the 487 stations in Spain with pages here, inside the top quarter of the national listing. That is high enough to be reached by browsing rather than by searching, which is how most of these pages are actually found.

Café del Mar CALM broadcasts in Catalan from Spain. That is a minority language on the national dial, where Spanish leads, but not a small one: 66 stations in Spain in the directory carry Catalan, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

Catalan radio in this directory sits largely in Andorra, with 68 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

192 kbps, which puts Café del Mar CALM above the 128 kbps that a typical entry in Spain runs at.

Café del Mar CALM streams in AAC while most of Spain's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

The stream is served from streamer.radio.co, which no other entry in Spain 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.
