Is there a WikiMediaRadio project?

There should be more detail about the Microsoft and Real Audio formats since many sites still opt for those closed formats.

Perhaps there should be ... but ... as a free and open environment, Wikipedia is more atuned to , shall we say, less proprietary structures and methods. Not that Real Audio is not ... or is it? Nevertheless, as is objectively declaired, the Ogg Vorbis format might be a bit more meaningful. But hey... that's just one point of view. 65.240.51.122 05:57, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
agreed with Polygnome, but the reasons behind this usage have to be explained (computer monopolistic position of MS, streaming monopolistic historic position of real audio format, and not QoS (quality of services)) would be good idea to link to the software patent / free software debate.

Corporate policy on streaming radio

Does anyone know why, apart from bandwidth issues, a lot of corporations ban employees listening to streaming radio? 205.217.105.2 13:40, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Money, rentability and profit are always the answers to "why a corporation do ___ ?". Switch your point of view to a global viewpoint and this will become self-evident. Izwalito 16:25, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

some information about the copyright situation would do the article good.

article title

does this article title "web radio" (615 000 results in google) is correct ? shouldn't it be webradio (1 840 000 results in google) and "web radio" a redirection to webradio ? Izwalito


why were the external links removed? i can understand that they would go to the List of Internet stations but they didn't. what was the criterium to do this? --RicReis 14:37, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is "internet radio" not "web radio"

As i think the name for this article should be "internet radio". The wrong name of this acticle reflects the common misunderstanding of the differences betweenn web and internet

Internet != www

The whole article is bogus i add AD! eg. "...relayed over the Internet through the World Wide Web,..." is factual wrong!

Anonymous, please correct it then.E. abu Filumena 02:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What to do with this paragraph?

I didn't found the origin of that, and i do not know if the quote is a verbatim copy, but it is inaccurate!

Dang Thi Thu Huong, writing a PhD on internet radio at Bournemouth University, UK, argues that internet radio is a particular form of media in itself, and cannot simply be the rebroadcast of on-air radio programmes via the Internet. She suggests this definition: "Web radio is a hybrid of radio and the Internet, featuring professional output including live radio programmes online and/or archived radio programmes online, accompanied and supported by some text and/or images, and interactive communication via the World Wide Web."

What part is inaccurate? Can you make it more accurate? ThanksE. abu Filumena 02:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
