Star FM Srilanka

Position 17 of 39 puts this station in the middle of Sri Lanka's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

The open count against Star FM Srilanka is four, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

Nothing else in Sri Lanka's listing leads with tamil songs. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Sri Lanka. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Its audio comes straight from stream.starfm.lk:12025, an address unique to this entry in Sri Lanka's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
