"Wi-Fi Radio is a hardware device that receives and plays music from a computer, internet radio stations or online music services with the help of internet. Compact discs were used before when the compression of the audio files were not developed. The uncompressed form of audio files was written on compact discs. Since uncompressed music files are of large size, it is not practical to transmit across the Internet quickly or to carry around on a portable music player. With the introduction of music players and other portable media players and the possibility of compression and conversion of the music file into the computer recognized format ,almost all forms of music are now being digitalized and stored as audio file on computers. . The most common types of format used now include MP3, WMA, Real audio and AAC. So many other ways to compress music files are also possible. However, all the digital compressed audio formats would now be generally called as MP3. Compressed music has its advantages. It is easy to store and to carry around. Large amount of music could be stored. Transfer of files via online which are compressed is easy compared to uncompressed ones. Songs are easy to find and could be tagged. It is easy to share with friends. . When MP3 music was getting its popularity before 10 years, the only way to enjoy the music was through the software's on a computer. While the computer could play , store and receive music, it was never intended to provide the quality of a real hi-fi system. Therefore, docking stations have been introduced to play back the music with a better sound quality. But unlike the computer which could store large number of MP3 music at home, the MP3 players have less storage capacity to store the entire music collection. It could be rectified with the use of network music player. By this, the network music player is connected to the home wireless router. This router is also in connection with the computer and the home network. With the help of internet, the network music player can access the user's music files on the computer or on a network attached storage (NAS) device, or access internet radio stations and online music services. Network music players should have an internet (preferably broadband) connection: an Ethernet, Wi-Fi network interface, with TCP/IP support to access to the Internet. USB ports where pen drives and MP3 players could be connected for MP3 files. LCD display with remote. Built-in speaker, or AUX-out port, to connect to large speakers. Rechargeable batteries and integrated charger . Card readers like the SD or SDHC. For best wifi radios and internet radio player check wifiradios
