Except it seems like you can still skip forward. That's not something you can do with radio.
In addition, radio has those incredibly annoying station identification bullshit announcements like "You're listening to JFRH, the cooooolest FM station in the greater Grumug metro area!", often with annoying sound effects like lasers and so on. Even worse, they often interrupt the music to have an ad for the station, in which the station-ad claims that this is another hour of ad-free music.
It's shitty, but it's not as shitty as radio.
