Makina Fm

Makina Fm is deep in Spain's listing, at 443 of 487. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

No opens have been recorded against Makina Fm in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

Makina Fm has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Spain on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with Spain's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The stream address on this entry points at stream.zeno.fm, which is where 17 other stations in Spain are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
