Internet Radio
Many radio stations are experimenting with the placement of their shows
on the Internet as downloadable digital files. With computer technology,
any sound (speech, sound effects, or music) that you put on audiotape or
videotape can be digitized and stored as a file that can be transmitted
across the net. Further, it is relatively quick and easy to separate the
audio from the video track with computer editing software.
Many commerical and non-profit radio stations that use the airwaves
have also chosen to distribute their radio programming over the Internet.
But it is not necessary to have a continuous stream of sound every minute
with the Internet. The radio station could be organized around on-demand
requests based on a search of the station's audio library database or a
simple scan of a list of audio compositions on a web page.
