Radio Paradise Mellow Mix 64k AAC

Position 262 of 1,481 in the United States. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

The station's leading tag is california, shared with 11 other entries in the United States. It is a well populated tag here without being one of the country's defining ones, which is a common and unremarkable place for a station to sit.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on the United States' dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The stream is AAC. the United States' dial is split across three formats rather than settled on one, with MP3 the commonest, so this station is on a well populated side of a genuinely mixed listing.

The audio comes from stream.radioparadise.com, and 11 other stations in the United States 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 States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
