KKJZ FM - Classic jazz radio station with
a monthly programming theme. Online stream available in RealAudio and MP3.
One reason for the popularity of radio files is that, unlike digital audio files (.wav, .aiff, etc.) or even compact discs or cassettes, a radio file does not need to capture and store actual sounds. Instead, the radio file can be just a list of events which describe the specific steps that a soundcard or other playback device must take to generate ceratin sounds. This way, radio files are very much smaller than digital audio files, and the events are also editable, allowing the music to be rearranged, edited, even composed interactively, if desired.
