esRadio Madrid

Position 104 of 487 in Spain. 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 language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

At 56 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Spain's dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

Where Spain's stations mostly use MP3, this one uses AAC+. Worth a line only because it is a difference, and because the country page's format breakdown is one of the quicker ways to see which providers a national dial runs on.

The stream is served from libertaddigital-radio-live1.flumotion.com, an address two other entries in Spain use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

The broadcaster's own site is esradio.libertaddigital.com. A .com address says nothing about where a station is, which is why the country on this page comes from the directory's own country field rather than from the domain.
