Retro Soul Radio

Retro Soul Radio sits in the tail of the United Kingdom's 466 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

The open count against Retro Soul Radio is three, 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.

Only three entries in the United Kingdom put disco first. The tag is self-declared and inconsistent between countries, which is why the rail below is worth more as a way of wandering than as a filter.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of the United Kingdom's listing without being one of its outliers.

Retro Soul Radio streams from streaming.galaxywebsolutions.com. No other station in the United Kingdom is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

The station's site is at retrosoulradio.co.uk, which sits under the .uk country domain rather than the United Kingdom's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
