Internetradio is a type of digital audio service broadcast over the Internet. It differs from traditional radio in that it does not use wireless transmission. Instead, it uses digital recordings to play music. This type of service allows users to listen to audio streams on their computer, tablet or mobile device.

Internetradio has many advantages over traditional radio, including the fact that it is available to anyone, no matter where they are. Internet radio technology has made it possible for smaller broadcasters to provide a wide selection of music, talks and news. It has also made the relationship between advertisers and consumers closer. Listeners can learn about a product or service from an Internet radio station and get helpful links and training.

Internet radio is becoming more and more popular. Smartphones, smart speakers, and WiFi-capable cars have increased the number of internet radio listeners. The transition from 3G to 4G has also facilitated the development of web radio channels. It is estimated that the average American listens to online radio for 912 minutes per week. This means that there is a ready audience for those web radio stations.

Internet radio works by digitizing and breaking up audio into small parts. The audio is then streamed from the server and assembled using software on a web-enabled device. Because internet radio is not a real radio, it uses bandwidth to simulate air waves.
