Adroit Jazz Underground HD Opus

Adroit Jazz Underground HD Opus ranks 10 among 1,481 stations in the United States. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Adroit Jazz Underground HD Opus carries 151 recorded opens in the public directory, which puts it among the small group of streams that directory clients open constantly. Counts at this level are rare: the great majority of the 14,425 stations with pages here are in single or double figures.

Adroit Jazz Underground HD Opus streams at 192 kbps, above the United States' median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 49% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

The stream is OGG, which is unusual anywhere: the United States' listing is dominated by MP3. Formats outside the common three are typically a deliberate choice by a broadcaster who cares about the encoding chain, and they are also the ones most likely to give a browser trouble.

The stream address on this entry points at icecast.walmradio.com:8443, which is where 10 other stations in the United States are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
