digital radio

Binary audio transmission

Digital radio is radio broadcasting that transmits audio as encoded digital signals rather than analog waves, offering clearer sound and more efficient use of bandwidth.

The term covers various standards including DAB, HD Radio, and internet streaming.

Digital radio receivers can display song titles, artist names, and other data alongside the audio: My car has digital radio, so I can see what's playing.
