RNE - Radio Clásica

Out of 487 entries in Spain, this one ranks 84. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The station's leading tag is classical, shared with 5 other entries in Spain. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

Worldwide it ranks 59 among 242 classical entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

The directory carries no bitrate for RNE - Radio Clásica. 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. Spain's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served as an HLS playlist, which is the format broadcasters use to switch bitrates on the fly and the one a plain browser audio element will not open. Nothing is wrong with the station; the player on this page simply cannot follow that kind of link without a library. The extension carries one and handles it.

Its audio comes from rtvelivestream.rtve.es. Five other stations in Spain stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
