Internet radio consists of streaming music
sent over the Internet. Some of the Internet radio stations
broadcast from traditional radio stations, however others
are available via the Internet only. Internet Radio allows
users to listen to music, talk shows, news, and many other
formats from all over the world. Unlike traditional radio
stations that transmit their signal to only a small area,
the only limits of Internet Radio is the speed of the Internet
connection. Although dial up users may listen to Internet
Radio stations, buffering may cause irritation, because of
the slow download. Buffering is the process in which the Internet
signal is relocated and corrected for clarity. For ultimate
performance a high-speed connection is recommended. Internet
Radio is quickly sweeping the nation in a revolutionary wave.
Internet Radio is used to connect organizations around the
world. This format assists in the spread of culturally diverse
music and ideas. |
