Grandpa-mode on:

Commercial radio has sucked for the last 20 years, period. I actually remember when commercial radio DJs talked only about the music, didn't talk over songs, and sometimes even played entire album sides. Who remembers the Mighty Met?

Three solutions:

1. Satellite radio. There has been a discussion of the competing services here on TC. Sounds like they both have their good and bad points, but for my money their playlists are still too limited. But that FM transmitter method blows.

2. iPod with car radio input. I just did this (new car stereo with aux input and mp3 disk capability) and it's glorius. Use the iPod or burn an entire artist's catalog onto one cd. Download books on take and rip 'em. This is the most versatile setup and is not only great for the car, but for the home, work and portable systems, too. The Kloss portable, rechargeable speaker (iPal) rules.

3. Stop listening to commercially available sounds altogether and listen only to sounds you produce yourself. Wait, that didn't sound right....
