正聲廣播電台FM104

Out of 57 entries in Taiwan, this one ranks 13. 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 directory carries no bitrate for 正聲廣播電台FM104. 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. Taiwan'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.

The stream is served from flv.ccdntech.com, an address one other entry in Taiwan uses 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 publishes at csbc.com.tw, on Taiwan's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
