Just a few years ago almost everyone had their favorite radio stations and listened whenever they were in the car or at work or even working around the house. Users typically listened to traditional AM or FM radio through a portable radio player or a stereo system in their car, home or office. With the advances in high speed Internet access people are no longer tied to their favorite radio station because of all of the options that are available online.
