The Canadian Broadcasting Company has finalized a new licensing deal that will allow them to stream some 40 radio stations online, as well as concerts and a lot of music on-demand and even for download. I don’t really grasp what they have in mind yet. I was able to listen to CBC 2 online, but when I clicked on their 10 different classical genre streams I wasn’t able to get them to play. All the metadata were there, but no audio.
You can read more about the deal here. I’ve read various comments about it and one commenter complained that listening to radio in real time online is not optimal, because you can’t fast forward or back to hear other music. Ha-ha. I want what I want, and I want it now! For FREE!
We have lots and lots of online choices. Not sure yet what this will add to the classical music scene. Content is still king, sez I.
