Traditional radio has a lot of strengths. It allows you to discover new music for free,
while the artist who wrote the music is compensated. However, traditional radio is also
severely limited in practical use.
For example, traditional radio has the drawback of needing to reach a "target" audience
for commercial purposes. Therefore, music is split among genres and further narrowed by
short playlists that leave great songs unplayed.
Wimpus Radio understands that music fans are individuals, whose taste in music is as
wide-ranging as their personalities. With no need to stereotype fans, Wimpus Radio
receives songs from a wide variety of sources at once, and arranges them in the order
of your preference.
When traditional radio does play a new song you enjoy, it fails to help you learn more
about the artist or song. Often times, you may miss the name of the artist, or be to busy
to jot down the name. There is no rewind button on a traditional radio.
With Wimpus Radio, all of the songs it has listened to for you are stored on your computer,
allowing you to enjoy them at your own convenience. If a particular song catches your interest,
you might listen to it more than once or give it a high rating. When you do so, you help Wimpus
Radio learn your taste and be on the lookout for new tunes for you. Best of all, since Wimpus
Radio uses streaming internet radio stations to help you discover new music, you can rest assured
that your favorite artists are being paid.
