More and more radio stations are using RealAudio and similar technology to deliver their music over the Web. If your computer has a sound card, the RealPlayer program and a decent Internet connection, you might be able to listen to your favorite San Francisco radio station even if you now live in Arkansas.

Instructions

    • 1

      Download the RealPlayer program from the RealAudio Web site if you don't already have it. Most radio broadcasts use this technology.

    • 2

      Check to see if the specific radio station you're looking for has a Web site. If the station is broadcasting over the Internet, click on the link to listen in real time.

      If you're looking for a specific broadcast, such as an out-of-town ball game or a syndicated program, use a Web search engine like Google or Yahoo! to find the official Web site for the broadcast.

    • 4

      Find the book "Passport to Web Radio" in a bookstore or library for a comprehensive guide to radio stations around the world and how they broadcast over the Web.

    • 5

      Browse the Yahoo and RealAudio sites for lists of stations by location, format or call letters, including Internet-only stations.

      Check periodically for new sites. If the radio station you want to hear isn't broadcasting over the Internet yet, it probably will be soon.
