Such devices have become popular in the last year, and are creating a revolution in the music industry. Because MP3 files are small, they can be easily transferred across the Internet. Musicians may be able to use this technology to distribute their own songs from their own Web sites to their listeners, eliminating the need for record companies. Costs to the consumer would decrease, and profits for musicians would increase. In fact, the big record companies are both suing MP3 music providers and at the same time trying to figure out how to embrace the technology and profit from it.
Music is also on the net in other ways like radio stations.
You might be able to find it on your computer. Radio stations are multiplying over the Internet. Streaming sound is audio that is played as it arrives. Any Netscape or Internet Explorer browser will work with either Real Player or the Windows Media Player. Most radio stations on the Web use one or the other, so you may want to download both to be covered in all cases.
