If you’ve always been a fan of jazz music or you just listen to the latest music, one can always find something or the other over the internet. Of course, since piracy has become a big deal for the big labels, conventional radio doesn’t seem to struggling with any of these issues because it has always been free music for an audience who have to tune into the airwaves in order to stay posted of the latest developments.
Now, with a large number of free radio stations offered over the internet, the music that was until now confined within the limits of a city or country can now be offered to a global audience. And if one’s audience multiplies exponentially, then you can imagine how this affects the radio station’s sponsors as well.
And while some folks may like to listen to top 40 tracks in any particular country, one can also gain access to radio stations such as 90s music that would otherwise not be available in their own country or state.
And the best part of it all is that one doesn’t need any costly equipment to listen to high quality music other than a decent computer and a broadband connection. And whether or not, piracy has become the latest obsession among fans, artists and labels alike, internet radio will continue to remain unaffected by the controversies that have brought the music industry to its knees.
