Product Description

Until recently, AM/FM stations could be heard only if you lived nearby. Now, thanks to real-time radio relays over the WWW, a growing number of these stations can be heard virtually anywhere. This book explains, in plain English, how to get set up and overcome the difficulties involved. It also includes a list of the hundreds of stations that may be heard and what they have to offer. Richly illustrated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding introduction to Web Radio!, August 16, 1998

By A Customer

The editor and staff did an outstanding job of compiling information about Web Radio! The introduction provides an excellent outline of how Web Radio technology works and has one of the better articles on world time I've run across. The station listings are very well balanced and include broadcasts from around the world. However, like most things about the Internet, Web Radio is a rapidly changing topic and some of the detailed information has become dated since the book was published in April 1997 (hence the 4 star rating). I look forward to the next update!
