Internet Radio v/s Mp3

Since the year 2000 the Internet has become the main source of communication for the entire world. So it's only natural that anyone who needs an audience they too would turn to this new medium. Internet radio has become very popular being that most is a free source of listening to music. Pandora, which is Internet radio offers channels that you pick to choose the type of music you would enjoy free. They then cater to your selection and play all music relevant to that category. With technology growing and advancing daily, we have made it to the point where our cell phones can communicate with the Internet and access Internet radio. This brings the question of the true need of mp3 players and devices of that type which require you download and pay for most music. With the option to enjoy your favorite music free verses paying to have it. You may see a shift in mp3 purchases such as the Ipod when your phone can do the same job. Internet radio is so convenient that even in corporate America's office environments many employees often get by there day by listening to music from Internet radio sites while working. Also outside of pornography most first time Internet users often search for music. This is a fact. This too is part of the reason that Internet radio has become so popular and will continue to grow there audience as new surfers began to populate the world wide web. The audience is so large that even your regular radio stations have turned to the online audience by creating Internet radio shows specifically aimed at building there online audience. Advertisers use the Internet radio to reach there audience by placing ads with the music since they already have the audience it now the greatest marketing tool this generation has known which is why is has grown and become more popular than regular radio which will only play what the FCC allows or what is popular on the charts verses picking and selecting the music you would like to hear and enjoy. I love Internet radio. I'm sure if you try it will enjoy it as well.
