If radio wasn't absolute shit 'round here (nothing but commercials, Christian talk, and bad country), I would actually rock one of these if they became available again.

All the good music has moved over to HD Radio. There are very few stations in most markets, but the ones that do exist almost always play stuff you won't hear on the FM dial.

Step 1: make a low power FM station Step 2: use this to listen Step 3: profit!

Heh. Carry around 3 devices:

An MP3 player or my phone for Spotify, one of those portable FM transceiver things, and this GameBoy radio. Use the transceiver to get my music from the MP3 player/phone to blast over the air on an empty band, and tune the radio to that channel.

Couldn't be simpler!

Forget FCC licenses! Let's do pirate radio.

Change those earbuds at some point.

There's a radio station in Ohio called The Summit and it's only been around for a few years but they are locally owned. They play new music, local stuff, old singles most people have never heard and more. On saturdays they turn it over to older people for polkas, spanish music etc. On sundays they play Americana and a Canadian music history show

It's been a real game changer for our radio scene. I've discovered a bunch of good songs thanks to them, here's a link to listen if anyone is interested
