If you have been a longtime reader of this blog, you will know that I have often extolled the virtues of streaming audio and video over the Internet. With the demise of public service programming and local content as features of local commercially licensed radio stations, there is no longer a reason to limit one’s listening to those stations.
The RIAA and the music recording industry that it represents has long attempted to maintain their stranglehold on the music that you hear. The reason is that they want to continue to easily manage their industry by managing your taste in music. Their business plan does not well serve the listening public, whose musical tastes are ignored in favor of the “We will tell YOU what you like” approach. The solution to that situation is for you to indulge your personal musical tastes by listening to the almost unlimited variety of choices available to you via streaming Internet audio.
My name is Bob, and I am a ham radio operator, freelance web developer and a retired commercial radio personality. It turns out that I also enjoy blogging...
