Q: What is BlueBeat?

A: BlueBeat is digital radio done right!

We're not satisfied with the current state of online digital radio, and it's easy to see why. Music services abound with low quality mp3 encodings and overpriced subscription fees. We won't name our "competitors", but suffice it to say that every time we see music services offer 50 or, in some cases, a whopping 60, generic radio stations, we sit down with our expert music team and dream up new themes along the likes of 1 Hit Wonders, Chillosophy, and Bitchin' Tunes, to add to our growing collection of over 400 choices. When we raise our eyebrows at stations who boast 128kbps mp3 audio, we're usually either pumping Dylan Undercover or $Bling Bling$ through our surround sound systems at 320 kilos per second.

But we'd never want you to let numbers speak for themselves. Just take into consideration that while we're working on great new features like playlist sharing, listener profiles and ratings and, of course, improving our ever-expanding music vault, you'll have plenty of time to try us out. BlueBeat is, after all, free.
