Streaming Radio – It Offers Music Online and a Whole Lot More

by: Richard A. Manfredi

If you listen to all of the commercials out there, it seems like you need to spend a fortune to listen to music online. With download fees, royalty fees, and monthly listening limits, listening to your favorite music online can get awfully expensive.


But if you're looking for a way to listen to all of your favorites and save some money, check out streaming radio!


Streaming radio is just that – radio stations that stream their signals over the internet. With internet radio, you don't need to be in a particular area or region to hear stations you like. Instead, you can listen to any station, anywhere, just with the click of a mouse.


Since these are all real radio stations, they all offer real DJ's, real playlists, real programs, real commercials, and real news updates. It's no different than what you would hear riding around in your car, or at home on your stereo.


And, as an added benefit, internet radio is completely free! When you log onto a streaming radio website, you don't have to worry about subscribing to anything or finding hidden fees later.


But, internet radio offers a whole lot more than just your favorite music online. With streaming radio, you can also unleash the power of talk radio!


Talk radio shows are usually on AM stations that are incredibly tough to get over the air – meaning it can be difficult to listen to your favorite shows while you're at work, driving around, or babysitting the kids.


But, with internet radio, the signal comes through your internet connection – instead of over the air – so that you get crystal clear reception. That way, you can listen to virtually any talk radio show in the world, without battling static and interference.


And, if your favorite talk radio show happens to come on right in the middle of your mid-morning conference with the boss, that's OK, too. Chances are there's another internet radio station streaming the show, so you can catch it later, when it's more convenient.


With streaming radio, you get a whole lot more than you get with music downloads... and, it's a whole lot cheaper!
