Ask most people, and they’ll tell you that free online music is some kind of urban legend. They’ve heard it exists, but they’ve never actually experienced it for themselves. Luckily, all you need to do to find it is log on to an internet radio website!

What on earth is internet radio?

Internet radio websites have links to thousands of live streams from real radio stations around the world. Whether you’re into 80’s music, country music, or talk radio, there will be tons of stations for you to choose from. You can search through the choices either by genre or by location, and once you’ve found a good station, all you have to do is click on the link and start listening. And, it’s all completely free online music!

Seriously, does it get any easier than that?

So, what do you listen to?

The same exact thing that local listeners are hearing!

Internet radio is just a live stream of the local broadcast. The signal just travels through your high-speed internet connection, instead of over the air and through your antenna. So, you’ll have access to the morning show, the hilarious afternoon DJ, and even the news, weather, and traffic reports! All of the songs you hear will be selected by professional DJ’s. It’s a real improvement from the computer-generated playlists you find on other sites that offer free online music!

As an added benefit, the sound quality on internet radio websites is even better than the real thing!

Since everything is being transmitted over the world wide web, you’ll never have to deal with the static and interference you get with your antenna. If you usually can’t get radio stations clearly in your big office building, or you lose the signal whenever a storm comes through, you won’t have any of those problems with internet radio.

Plus, internet radio can help make things a whole lot more convenient for you. Let’s say that you’re throwing a theme party — but you don’t have any 80’s music on hand to play. Instead of going out and downloading a bunch of songs (all at $1 or so apiece) or hiring a DJ, you can just click on an 80’s music internet station and rock out until the wee hours of the morning!

Or, if you always seem to miss your favorite talk radio show because it coincides with your morning meeting with the boss, just look for an internet talk radio station that plays the show at a different time. That way, you don’t have to rush through your meeting with the boss — and you’ll still get to hear your favorite show.
It’s easy to see that internet radio is a win-win!
