Internet Radio News
With the rise of Internet radio, The Wheel’s Still In Spin is introducing a new weekly feature. Every Monday, we list the recent online news articles about the future of Internet radio.
Web Radio Royalty Battle Takes New Turn
PCMag.com reports that The Copyright Royalty Board “wants any entity that pays royalties under sections 112 and 114 of the Copyright Act, including Internet radio, satellite radio, digital cable radio, and any other radio-like services delivered by digital means to report every single song they play on the air to SoundExchange, which governs the music industry's royalty rates.” “Though Internet radio already abides by census reporting, royalty payment status is still up in the air. Under a bill signed into law in October, Internet radio and copyright holders have until February 15 to come up with a royalty agreement or the decision will be handed back to the CRB.”
Blaupunkt and miRoamer Unveil Internet Radio for the Car
Wired’s blog was the first of many sites to explain that “Blaupunkt and miRoamer will announce a partnership at CES that will put internet radio into car dashboards for the first time.” “‘The first model will connect to a 3G/HSDPA/HSPA device via Bluetooth for Internet connectivity,’ explained miRoamer spokesman Ryan Greives. ‘When connecting to the Internet via an external device (such as an iPhone), the customer’s existing mobile service provider is the default network,’ adding, ‘various models are in the pipeline which may have an internal modem.’”
World's first clock radio for your web browser
This one is fun. The blog Sync describes OnlineClock.net “will use your computer's IP address to determine what time zone you're in and will accurately show you the correct time. Then you can use your mouse to set what time for the alarm to go off and if you prefer the buzzer or choose from one of hundreds of Internet radio stations available from the pull-down menu.” “The original OnlineClock.net debuted in 2006 but has since added the radio functionality.”
Free radio recorder works like a charm
The Sync blog also reviews a free Internet radio recorder. “The Crawler Radio & MP3 Player is a mere 603KB download that lets you listen to and record Internet radio streams, selected from preloaded stations provided (most without commercials) or by adding your own favorite online radio stations. If you need to leave the house but want to record an upcoming show, pull up the scheduler and select which station to record from the drop down menu, what time to begin recording and what time to end. Now you can listen to that recorded audio anytime (and offline, too).”
