“Internet Radio is better than FM in many ways. You can listen to it without a headphone, there is no chance of static interrupting your listening sessions. No lags, no stutters, and unless your internet connection fails it’s pretty much smooth sailing as far as the listening experience is concerned.”

Earrockers

“Internet radio operates differently as it continuously uploads the audio directly into the broadcast server. Listeners can connect to the server via a web address and listen to the stream from any corner of the globe greatly increasing its worldwide reach”.
