WiFi Streaming Radio

WiFi streaming radio players give access to thousands of online radio stations.

WiFi streaming radio is transmitted through the Internet and is then picked up by an audio device over a wireless network. These radio stations are usually free and many of them allow the user to customize the listening experience.

WiFi Radio Players

WiFi radio players are stand-alone radios that allow a user to play an Internet radio station anywhere there is a WiFi connection. While some of these players are very basic, others have special features such as the ability to record Internet radio, play standard AM/FM radio stations and play MP3 files.

Mobile Devices

WiFi streaming radio is available on certain mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch and the Android. To access Internet radio through a mobile device, special applications must be downloaded first. These applications are usually free or low cost.

Benefits

WiFi streaming radio gives the user access to much more than local radio stations can offer. Many Internet radio services are able to customize the listening experience, playing only songs that the listener chooses or is likely to prefer.
