Screw radio104 and screw clear channel. Clear channel has ruined radio, but in a few years anyone who listens to the radio will have xm satellite radio. Its becoming more affordable for the equipment and its only $10 a month for the service to get 100 channels, or $7 for the basic service, which is a great deal.
Many new car stereos are xm ready, and since the service is so cheap i think most people who buy a new car that has the equipment will pay for the service. The cheapest way to go is to pay $50 for the reciever that hooks up to your computer. It doesnt use your internet connection, it just plays using your pc hardware and soundcard and the interface is on your computer screen. It also has a lot of cool features like being able to notify you if a certain band or song is on not matter which station its on, even if you are listening to another station at the time. You can even open up a window and have it show you a list of what songs all the other stations are playing.
Many people are using their computer to listen to music and find out about new bands because for the last few years its been impossible to do that on the radio, so this is a great legal alternative to mp3 for people who like to go online and download everything because they have no hope of hearing the type of music they like on mtv or on the radio.
And speaking of xm radio, does anyone know if jamnation will still be on whatever channel aired it on xm? I dont have it yet, but i would at least like to get the reciever that hooks up to the computer, and if jamnation was still on that would encourage me to buy it sooner.
