Jimi Hendrix

Rank 265 of 328 in the United Arab Emirates. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

The open count against Jimi Hendrix is one, 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.

The audio comes from streaming.exclusive.radio, and 159 other stations in the United Arab Emirates are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United Arab Emirates' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

Jimi Hendrix publishes at exclusive.radio. A .radio address is not open registration; the registry limits it to broadcasters and related organisations, so it is one of the few domains that says something verifiable about who owns it.

Jimi Hendrix and Exclusively Rory Gallagher are described by the directory in very nearly the same fields, which makes the differences between them worth stating rather than leaving to be inferred. The other entry carries the blues rock tag and this one does not. The broadcasters publish at different addresses of their own, exclusive.radio and play.exclusive.radio.
