AN ASSESSMENT INTO THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE RADIO STREAMING APPLICATION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

A radio streamer is a piece of software or an entire system that, in order to listen to streaming audio from a radio station, first collects (accepts) as an input the URL of the station's stream, verifies the URL's legitimacy, and then connects to it over the internet using the assistance of a computer.

It provides a more computerized approach to the way and manner in which we appreciate the use of technology by listening to radio online in our day-to-day activities, thereby reducing the massive limitation that is associated with the limited system of listening through a radio player or a mobile phone. This is done in order to offer a more computerized approach to the way and manner in which we appreciate the use of technology. When transmitting a station, it may be used as an alternate medium to AM and FM, but why should we have to choose between the two? (Barb, 2017). As a result of the FM radio's inability to reach frequencies at great distances, the software makes it possible to have worldwide access to the relevant information at any time. This is because certain radio stations, both within and outside the country, transmit live online on the internet.

Before beginning development of the program, the viewpoint of a scenario was considered in which radio listeners, also known as users, purchase an FM/AM radio equipment and begin listening to the local station of their choosing. For this device to have access to these local stations, it must have had a preconfiguration performed on it. However, in order for the user to be able to tune in to the radio station of their choosing, it is presumed that the radio equipment must first have satisfied a number of prerequisites (Dave, 2017).

People used to listen to the radio in this manner before the widespread availability of computer technology (the internet, to be more specific). However, this method has a great deal of restrictions when it comes to evaluating or listening to radio across the nation or even further afield than the vicinity of a specific local station's coverage area.

Because of this factor, radio stations began transmitting their broadcasts on the internet as early as the 1990s. The development of the computer and widespread use of the internet has made it possible for radio stations to improve the method in which their programming are sent to listeners.
