For years the domain of music-loving geeks, Internet radio is moving into the mainstream. The major Internet radio providers, including Slacker, Pandora and Last.fm, now provide their software on almost every imaginable platform. Internet radio can be streamed through mobile devices (including iPhones and BlackBerries), tabletop radios, home stereo systems, Blu Ray players and even video game consoles.
Somewhat confusingly, the term “Internet radio” does not typically refer to terrestrial or satellite radio transmitted online. Many traditional radio stations also make their programming available over the Internet, but “Internet radio,” also called webcasting, refers to something different. These services permit users to design and share stations based on their musical preferences—not only by selecting genres or styles of music, but by designating particular bands, or even particular tracks, to include in their playlists.
