Broadband connection for Internet Radio

A broadband connection is recommended if you want to listen to Internet radio. You will need a good connection to the Internet with a large bandwidth. An advantage of choosing a broadband connection is that it is always on, as opposed to having to dial in whenever you want to use this service.

You will also need streaming audio software to listen to an Internet radio broadcast. Windows Media Player® is one package you can use for this purpose. Use it to find and listen to Internet radio stations. If you already know the URL for the radio station you are interested in listening to, simply type or copy and paste this information into the program's "Open" box to get the station to start playing.

Another software option for people interested in listening to radio broadcasts through the Internet is to download Real's RealPlayer®. This software package gives users access to over 2,300 Internet radio stations, and a number of these broadcast in an advertising-free format.format
