    Conclusion

    Audio over the internet has reshaped how we access, experience, and value sound. Streaming services dominate everyday listening, offering vast libraries with minimal storage needs, but introduce trade-offs in ownership, quality, and artist compensation. Podcasts democratized broadcasting, while terrestrial radio has shifted into a supporting cultural role. The future of audio lies in personalization, immersive sound formats, and a renewed appreciation for audio quality and intentional listening.
