Early Music Streaming: Internet Music Net and RealAudio
[edit]This article discusses Internet Music Net, an early website created by DJ Vinatea, that is considered one of the first to offer real-time music streaming in 1998. It utilized RealAudio technology, a significant development in early internet audio.[1]
Background: RealAudio and Early Internet Music
[edit]In the mid-1990s, Progressive Networks, also known as RealNetworks, developed RealAudio, a technology that enabled efficient streaming of audio over the internet. This innovation opened up new possibilities for online audio consumption.
Prior to widespread broadband internet, streaming audio faced significant challenges due to limited bandwidth. RealAudio, with its compression algorithms, helped overcome these limitations, allowing for more seamless audio playback.
Internet Music Net: A Pioneering Example
[edit]Launched in 1998, Internet Music Net is considered one of the earliest websites to leverage RealAudio for real-time music streaming.
Features: While specific features are limitedly documented due to the nature of archived websites, Internet Music Net likely offered functionalities such as:
Artist selection: Users could potentially browse and select music by specific artists.
Genre browsing: The website may have allowed users to explore music by genre.
Significance: Internet Music Net's pioneering approach demonstrated the potential of streaming music directly through web browsers. This concept, while still in its early stages, laid the groundwork for the development of future music streaming services.
Impact and Legacy
[edit]While the long-term fate of Internet Music Net is unknown (whether it ceased operation or was acquired), its contribution to the evolution of online music consumption remains significant.
Influence on the Industry: Internet Music Net, along with other early adopters of streaming technology, helped pave the way for the rise of popular streaming services like Spotify and Pandora. A Historical Marker: The website, preserved on the Wayback Machine, serves as a historical marker of the early days of online music streaming. Further research and documentation are needed to fully understand the history and impact of Internet Music Net.
