What are the disadvantages of online radio?

Answer 1

Key examples of online radio classifications are: terrestrial radio podcasts (e.g. under BBC.co.UK), unscheduled/collaborative stations (e.g. under Last.FM) and scheduled personal stations (e.g. Live365.com).

Compared with terrestrial radio broadcasts, at like-for-like audio quality, the common disadvantage with all these formats is that they require a more sophisticated infrastructure and more expencive receiving equipment (e.g. internet bandwidth exceeding 500kbps and computer equpment costing over $600). Thus, these formats a only generaly available to affluent residents of urban areas and/or ''developed countries''.

Answer 2

In our visual age, many people are accustomed to seeing as well as hearing the media. Radio is a medium based on just one of the senses: hearing (listening) -- whether listening to songs, to news, to sports, etc. Radio is theater of the imagination, but some people prefer to actually see what is going on, rather than just hearing it described. They would rather watch Music Videos, or watch a newscast, or watch their favorite team. There are also advantages to radio, but since you asked only about disadvantages, the main one is the lack of visual images.

Online radios allow the user to listen to any station or channel no matter where you are but the disadvantage is you need to be connected to the internet to use that service, however traditional radios can be used almost anywhere due to the long wave length of the radio stations the problem being they cannot get every channel it depends on your location when using one.
