This evolution has allowed users worldwide to access a diverse array of music and talk content beyond the limitations of frequency spectrum and national borders, fundamentally changing how music is consumed in the digital age. With the ability to customize music streams, discover new artists, and explore niche genres, internet radio has become a vital platform for music promotion and discovery, reshaping listener interactions with music by shifting from album-oriented consumption to a more singles-focused approach.
