I feel like the need for internet radio is on the rise because of how well the internet is doing. More and more people use the internet everyday and stay connected longer than ever before. If you had to find a way to get people to listen to your ad, how would you go about it? Well, you could post audio clips all over the place, but then you have to get the people to go to that site. That is where the need for internet radio comes in. It gives people what they want, a cheap and easy why to listen to only the music that they want to hear. It also gives companies a way to advertise to you, without you having to come to them. Every few songs, an ad will play, and then your music will start back up. Just like real radio, only thing is, internet radio is about 100 times better. First of all, the ads are really short, maybe 30 seconds. Most of the time they only play one, so that could be one 30 second span of time for every three or four songs. On the real radio, you could get four or five ads before they start the music back, and then you have to listen to those stupid DJ's talk on and on about stuff you do not care about before they start the music. Then when the music does start, you may not even like the song that is playing. Second of all the car radio does not remember what songs you hate and which ones you like. So you could just have the same song you hate play two or three times a day. Now that is bad radio. The need for internet radio is very easy to see.

Internet radio works a lot better than the radio that you are use to. You see, internet radio plays on your computer, it is really a broad casting service transmitted through the internet. The big difference is that you can show your internet radio what you like and what you don't. You can click that you hate a song or love it. Maybe you like an artist more than another, or maybe you like one of his cds a lot more than the other ones. The internet radio then takes this information and saves it so it can choose songs to play that you will like and get rid of the ones you won't. The good news is, there are lots of sites that carry down loadable software for internet radio. There are even more sites that allow you to use their internet radio for free as long as you are signed up for their site. Such sites are like Yahoo and MSN. Why do they let you use these for free? That is because the ads that you hear during your music, pays for the internet radio. Of course, if you do not like the ads you can pay to have them taken out. Then you have ad free radio, but you have to pay each month. So you need to choose if the ads bug you that bad or not, I mean, they are really short, so I do not see why it would be a problem.

People look for internet radio sites everyday, and that should prove that they are liked very much. If you cannot stand normal radio then you should give internet radio a try. Why not? It is free and can save your most love music. Not only that, you can choose from hundreds of stations that are already playing music, and if they play a song you do not like, then you can skip it. Try doing that on normal radio.
