Internet Radio
Internet radio, also known as online radio, web radio, net radio, streaming radio, e-radio and IP radio, is a digital audio service transmitted via the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet is usually referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means. It can either be used as a stand-alone device running through the Internet, or as a software running through a single computer.

It is distributed through a wireless communication network connected to a switch packet network (the internet) via a disclosed source.

Internet radio is also distinct from podcasting, which involves downloading rather than streaming. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
