The Internet is all over the place. It changes everything it touches, and reaches out for anything which it doesn't. The Internet is best used for text, graphics and useful information, since downloading music would take a long time - music recordings tend to be large files. Not any more. The magic of the Internet has touched even this.

You can now listen to any one of thousands of local and national radio stations broadcasting their programmes online. Using "MP3" technology, you can even download recordings of your favourite artist or band. (MP3 recordings are not all licenced, so check that a recording is a legal one before using it). Of course, you can also buy CD albums from e-commerce sites too!
