With all those MP3 players and iPods which can store as many songs as you wish, do you still listen to FM radio stations? In my case, I still listen to local FM radio stations from time to time. Some of the songs they play over the air are not stored in my iPod. How about you? Do you still listen to local FM radio stations? Or do you just play the songs stored in your iPod or mp3 players when you would like some music?

Yeah, I listen all the time. The commercial stations aren't much good (though I listen to a couple of the rock stations now and then). But there are a number of good public or college radio stations in my area. These are the stations I listen to almost all the time. I really wish iPod would make a model with an FM radio. I hate the idea of having to spend another $60 or so to add a radio to my iPod.

I listen to FM radio all the time. That's how I find new songs. When I'm driving, I often prefer the radio so that I'll get to hear a variety of songs instead of just the songs I already bought.

Only when we are in the car. If our stack of CDS have beenb played over and over again, we switch to the radio and listen to the songs being played.

Hi! I listen radio only in the morning, it helps me to wake up but otherwise I don't like radio.. I love hard music but hard music radio station work for some time only in my country, so I can't find out, which way the wind blows sitting all day, I haven't lot of free time.. At work I have record-player where I can listen all I want (my music records), so I don't need listen to radio. When I go somethere I listen my Walkman:)

No, I used to listen to the radio stations on last.fm because they were personalised to your tastes but i haven't been there recently. I probably should go back.
