Often you want to listen to music or find out the latest news, but there is no music CD or TV at hand. Problems with multimedia are easily solved - in this case, you need to find a radio. This requires any computer with Internet access.
Necessary
- - computer or laptop;
- - the Internet;
- - headphones or speakers.
Instructions
Step 1
To find a radio, you just need to have an internet connection. There are many online radio stations on the Internet that broadcast online, that is, to listen to a song, you do not need to “catch” a wave or acquire a radio receiver. Enter the worldwide network and find online radio yourself or use the services of sites that have compiled a list of radio stations and classified them by subject. The second method is preferable, since in the first case the search engine may return a result that does not satisfy the user.
Step 2
In order to start the search, enter the query "online radio directory", "how to find a radio" or similar in the search engine line. The generated list with links, which the system will provide to the user, will contain sites that are most suitable for the entered keywords. Next, you need to independently choose the site that you want to view.
Step 3
Many Internet resources not only make catalogs of online radio stations, but also allow you to go to their official sites. If it is not possible to listen to the radio directly from the found resource, you should follow the provided link to the radio station's website.
Step 4
Before listening to the radio, start the audio player software that comes with every computer. Standard Windows Media Player will work as well, but it will be better if you use a player that provides this function.
Step 5
After launching the program for listening to audio, click on the link, which should activate the stream of the Internet broadcast of the radio. Consider the fact that a player with online radio works on a slightly different principle than with music files located on a hard drive or other connected media. This will not work for some functions, including fast or slow playback, pause, and many others.
Step 6
If the Internet connection is slow, the radio will not work correctly. This problem is solved by most online radio stations simply: they provide the user with several modes of operation, one of which is provided for slow connections. The playback quality may suffer slightly when this function is selected.
