I have a couple of USB drives, 4GB all blues and 8GB Rock, country and big band. Never hear the same song twice and I spend 12 hours a day behind the wheel.
My music all the time.

...Internet music services like Pandora, Slacker and Last.fm, already popular with computer and smartphone owners, are being tailored by software developers, consumer electronics companies and even automakers to work more seamlessly with car stereo systems...
...These handsets all have free applications that play customized music channels streamed over the Internet using the phone’s 3G wireless data connection. The services are generally free, although smartphone owners typically pay about $30 a month on top of regular voice service for unlimited data usage.
The attraction is that rather than being shackled to the same old hits from local radio stations, listeners can customize the music channel to suit their tastes. Pandora has about 750,000 songs and 40 million listeners...
...During a test drive when I became irritated by a Beyonce song, I simply pushed a “voice” button on the side of the Pioneer display and told the system to “play the Doors.” Within a couple of seconds, the unit began to play songs from the “Soft Parade” album. The sound quality, while not equivalent to a CD, was as good as typical radio reception and better than some satellite radio stations. And when a call came in, the built-in Bluetooth hands-free system automatically muted the music.
I did discover some limitations, however. AT&T’s 3G wireless service is notoriously patchy in New York City, so there were occasional dead spots when the music dropped out as the cellphone searched for a signal...
However, such limitations may soon disappear as automakers integrate streaming Internet services directly into their cars...
Of course, traditional radio broadcasters have heard the drumbeat of mobile apps. They have responded with their own apps, streaming live broadcasts from thousands of stations to handsets and through them, to cars...

In that event, I suppose country "music" fans will have to call it something else.
That's not a source of any recognized authority.
They’d just spell it right. Because they’re clearly more literate than you.
And now kids we see why being a jerk and throwing around pointless insults is kind of like spittin in the wind. Just plain not a good idea, because inevitably you’ll wind up calling somebody illiterate and misspelling something.
Sure beats shagging a pig while listening to ill-conceived whining.
Yaaaaawn. Every insult you throw just proves how pointless your life is at this point. I recommend you move on, having lost this fight, which was a polite conversation before you showed up, and will be again once you leave. Bye now.
My life is pointless because country sucks? Who knew?
Just another reason why it sucks. It makes you think
people who hate it have pointless lives. Rise up!
Throw off the yoke of country music suckiness!
Think for yourself! Don't shag animals!
Let your sister alone!
No your life is pointless because the best you can think to do is throw insults at people that like music you don’t. Sad sad sad.
BTW.
Back during Hurricane Rita, I was listening to Shortwave Ham operators on Galveston as the storm was rolling through.
Computers were worthless at that moment.
Who should I throw them at, then?
Nobody. Insults are proof you have nothing useful to say.
It's very useful to warn folks about the evils of country "music".
But you have a nice day anyway.
All it warned people against was trying to have conversations with you.
Yet you persist.
Nope, I’m laughing at you.
Then I serve a useful function.
If you REALLY want a laugh, check out some country "music" tabulature.
Kindergartners can write better stuff.
Yee haw.
>> I became a Sirius satellite radio subscriber several years ago and now I own three receivers. One for each of my two cars and one that I keep in the house <<
Not necessary!
Here’s how to reduce your bill by 2/3:
Just get yourself ONE of XM’s little “Roadie” cassette-like tuners, and also you purchase three docking stations plus three antennas and three tiny power supplies. Then you simply pay for one monthly subscription and move the tuner from location to location. Works beautifully!
(That’s what I’ve been doing for the past four years with my XM subscription. Total satisfaction!)
>> That’s what Sirius-XM 40’s on 4 is for! <<
Amen! Maybe the best channel in the radio universe!

Sorry, guess I’m just dumb. What is that in the photo? I searched Pyrus Electronics and didn’t find that particular critter.
I stopped listening to talk radio the day Obama was elected. I gave up on FM years ago - too many commercials.
Now that I have Pandora on my Android, I either use that or music from my memory on my phone, or mp3 disks. I have no need for broadcast radio any more.
