From there I used an iPod for awhile, but I ended up dropping it and the damn thing's hard drive frozen (Yes this was before they started using Flash Memory). My car has a cassette player in it so I have one of those blank cassettes with the wire that plugs into my MP3 player, plus I carry a few back up CD's incase my Zune battery dies. All in all, I've worked incredibly hard to make sure I never have to listen to the radio ever again. If I wanted to hear ad's every five minutes I'd watch TV.

I'm pretty much the same way, except that I do actually tune in on the radio once in a blue moon to see what's new in the world of music. Unlike most people, I don't believe everything on the radio sucks. But the times I hear something good are few and far between. I think more than half the stations in this town play spanish-language music, not bad per se (as I do enjoy some reggaeton from time to time) but come on already. We have only one crap rock station, one top forty, a couple rap/hip hop stations, a classic rock station and an oldies station...three country stations and about 10 spanish stations. Between all the Spanish and the advertisments, it usually doesn't make for a good listening experience.
