This paper will introduce readers to the internet radio medium. It will study the century old history of classic radio, its inventions and the people who developed it. It will also research the transformation of this medium from analog to digital and various ways that traditional radio stations adapt to the internet age. Creation of the internet caused massive changes in the media world in ways of exchanging and acquiring information. With its flexibility and speed it threatened other mediums which were forced to either adapt or deal with the consequences. Radio successfully found its place on the web and with it, came other similar services for sharing the newly formed digital sound. It didn't take long for different groups to start developing new audio formats with the goal to take over this growing market. This simple and convenient way of storing music on personal devices unintentionally got shared with the world which started the unauthorized sharing of audio files and caused a new copyright law to be formed. Internet radio stations had to defend themselves from many critics which were trying to stop them, claiming they damage the authors. Apart from the social consequences of the Internet and personal computers, this thesis explains the technical innovations that have arisen from it and are related to sound and its transmission, i.e. streaming over the web. The theoretical part of this paper slowly leads to the second, practical part, which briefly explains the process of creating a website for the aggregation of internet radio stations.
