Think long and hard about the evolution of music and how it was being shared. It wasn’t too long ago when music was being shared through the radio alone. If you wanted your very own copy of music, you had to play it using a record player and a vinyl record. And times were harder in the days before advancements in electricity and technology were achieved. You had to be physically present in front of the musicians for you to hear music.
But times have changed. Music lovers are lucky because the advancements in technology have made it easier for them to get the music they want. And this is all thanks to internet radio. While traditional radio broadcast over the air, internet radio sends music content straight to their users’ device through the internet. They can be downloaded as an application in your mobile device, or they can also be accessed through your computer’s web browser.
To differentiate themselves from traditional media, internet radio provided music lovers with advanced features that may just change the way they listen to music forever. It might just change their lives as well. Here are the top 3 reasons how internet radios can be a life changer:
The music you want, when you want it, however you want it
Internet radio trumps traditional radio because it gives the listeners the power to choose. No longer are listeners at the mercy of radio stations and disc jockeys. Technology is making it possible for music lovers to listen only to the music they like. Plus, they can listen to their music whenever they want and however they want it.
Pandora Internet Radio app allows their users to customize their own playlist. These internet radio apps are also very good at giving music suggestions to their users. It’s scary how accurate their recommendations can be.
And with internet radio, it doesn’t take a genius to understand and navigate its interface. Even technophobes can get right to using it right away. The listening experience gets an upgrade with a simple download of an internet radio app.
The World’s music at your fingertips
These apps not only expand choices, it also allows users to share to the world the music they like. These apps require their users to create profiles and their playlists are saved in them. And this is where internet radio intensifies the music listening experience—by allowing the sharing of music. You can check out what your friends like and you can share what you like to your friends.
The world becomes a smaller, more intimate place with internet radio. Now the world’s music has a repository, they can all be found in internet radio sites. With these offerings, you can easily find obscure and not-easily accessible music. Walls are broken and borders are crossed because internet radio is paving the way for music to break new ground.
No commercials!
Don’t you just hate those boring commercials on radio? Yes, internet radio has those too. But users now have the option to do away with them—by paying a monthly subscription fee. By paying for your internet radio, you not only do away with the commercials, you also get a lot of other cool features. A paid subscription allows users to unlimited skips, unlimited downloads and other cool stuff traditional radio just can’t offer.
But internet radio does not complain either if you decide to stick with a free subscription, that is if you don’t mind the limitations and the ads. Again, the power to decide is with the user.
Download an internet radio app now if you haven’t already. A lot of them are free, with the option for a monthly fee for you to upgrade the services you get from them. As a music lover, you will surely be grateful for the power they can give you. Your music listening experience levels up because you now get to decide what music you want, when you want it played, in the manner you want. No other app gives you this much control over the media content you get.
