Streaming Radio

Streaming radio, known as internet or web radio, is an audio service transferred by means of internet. Online streaming radio provides listeners with a continual stream of music that cannot be paused or replayed. It is very similar to the traditional way of listening to the broadcasting medias. The only difference is the way of transferring the data.

The data, or in other more technical words bits, are transferred over the network in special formats, then they are reassembled and played with a few seconds delay. All one needs, in order to listen to a streaming radio, is a good internet connection that is able to transfer the data fast enough to provide continual stream of audio.
