INTERNET radio to die soon
taken from digital spy below
People keep going on about internet radio being the future, but the
broadcasters are trying there best to kill it stone dead.
1) Incompatible file formats (MP4, Real Audio, Flash, Encrypted MP3)
2) Self Destructive URLs...
3) Ever changing URLs...
4) Poor quality audio thanks to "Sure Stream" and the like
No wonder I rarely use my Internet Radio nowadays.
Poor Neil, you have fallen foul of the propaganda war that the BBC has
started to corral people into only using their controlled forms of
broadcasting -- DAB, iplayer, or their proposed internet radio player.
Most days I only listen to Internet radio stations, and these use
fully compatible formats with my Internet radio, the URLs do not
self-destruct, the URLs are not ever changing, and for most of them
the quality is first rate.
The only low bit rate station I listen to is OTR radio at 16 kbps,
and for the program material, the low bit makes little difference
to the program quality.

Where else may one listen to classic shows such as
"I was a communist for the FBI"?
