Consumers rarely adopt new technology until they're sure of its benefits. Luckily for the industry, digital radio's pluses are easily explained: clearer sound and more choice. Digitalization transforms sound into the binary codes of 1s and 0s, which can be transmitted as audio waves free from interference.
