Internet radio
Internet radio is a great way to access free music and radio programs online. This was you can listen to a radio program, or songs, from anywhere in the world. Commonly internet radio is distributed via streaming technology, where the audio is transported over a network and then reassembled and played within seconds - this delay is referred to as a lag and something you will experience when listening to online radio.
Features include listening to songs or programs, creating playlists, exporting to a website or webpage, and subscribe to updates and services.
