Radio stations in Suriname

Suriname has 12 entries in the public directory and 6 that a browser can open. The 6 in between are worth understanding rather than ignoring: they are largely live stations whose stream addresses were registered over http and never migrated, so they play in a desktop radio client and not in a tab.

The median stream in Suriname runs at 192 kbps and 67% of the listing reaches 128 kbps or better, 4 stations of 6. That is a comfortable profile: 128 kbps is the point at which music stops sounding like a compromise on ordinary speakers.

MP3 is the commonest format in this listing without owning it, at 67%. AAC and AAC+ make up most of the remainder. A spread like this is a good sign of an independent broadcasting scene rather than one reseller with the whole market.

The public directory records almost no opens against Suriname's stations, so the ordering below is close to meaningless and this page says so rather than presenting it as a chart. The counts rise only when somebody plays a stream through a directory client, and very little traffic from this listing does.
