The Lost 45s - A radio program which
features Top 40 hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Includes list of the
hundred most requested songs, audio clips, and photographs of the artists.
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.
