[ot] broadcast radio

Actually it was me, and not Al that said that. I'm afraid most of those groups on todays playlist I've never even heard of! I've tried a couple of the "internet radio" stations. I just can't stomach them. The quality is typically pretty low, and prone to network glitches. I actually subscribed (free) to "Wolfgangs Vault" but have found it to problematic to use :^( BTW, on that playlist, the one modern group I do know who they are, is Death Cab for Cutie, I've picked up their last two albums on vinyl. :^) I could see that happening. How long before the FCC tries to sell of the AM and FM spectrums to some corporation for Cell phones or some such nonsense? BTW, Al has some good points, it was quite obvious that the last 30's/40's/50's oldy station I was listening to was a satalite feed. Even the country station I listen to that has local DJ's, also has a satalite feed for late night. As someone else mentioned, it's not just the under 30's crowd moving to the iPod. I've preferred iTunes to the radio for years, and finally got an iPod at Christmas. Zane
