Default Who does not listen radio anymore?

I don't know why but in this last year I have not listened radios, though it was my best friend my whole life. I started to listen devices (audio cd, mp3, usb, etc etc) more and more, and now I almost listen no radio.

So I can't post in the 2006 music poll, (I guess not even in a 2005...)

I don't know shy, but music from these days doesn't catch my attention. Am I getting old?

i don't listen to the radio either!

i listen once in a great while ... and then it's only if i'm driving, and only to non-commercial radio. i do listen to internet radio (last.fm usually), but that's different because i get to choose what i listen to.

I listen to commercial radio once in a blue moon - but public radio? I do listen to that a lot. I love public radio - it's intelligent and thought provoking and I work for it

Most commercial stations I've heard recently play the same few songs in heavy rotation making me want to hurt others...

I've had SIRIUS radio for the past two years and it has been worth every penny (which is, roughly, $130 a year). I never listen to commercial radio anymore and with SIRIUS, I am able to be very selective in what genre I want to hear. My CD collection has grown more in the 2 years that I've had SIRIUS than in the last 5 years that I was without it -- the exposure to new bands has been incredible.

I NEVER listen to the radio anymore. The newest thing I got was this little cassette I put in my car (yes I have a cassette player) and it has a plug that goes directly to your Ipod. It plays the music right through the speaker. I like this thing a lot better than the Radio-adaptive Ipod plugs because with the tape you don't lose the sound when you hit a tunnel or lose a signal. Its great! When the Ipod is dead I usually have either the new LB cd in, The Killers, or Red Hot Chilli peppers CD's in.

I worked in commercial radio when I was starting out too - it was AWFUL. Worst job I've had in my life

Public radio is such a haven...I love it!

Try internet radio... there are so many different channels out there, each catering to a different audience. Something for everyone
my personal faves are bbc6 and kinkfm!

One of the reasons I dont listen to songs like Don't Stop, GYOW, an Rhiannon is their CONSTANT annoying overplay on the local classic rock station. Ridiculous.

I know! It occurred to me the other day how much I can't stand the studio v. of Rhiannon. I don't even hear it as often as I used to, but it still grates on me.

I AGREE. Well actually I do listen those songs cause are mac songs. But I feel the same as you when I listen at radios... Hotel California, Dancing Queen, Another brick in the wall, Demon Lover, Honesty, Da ya think I'm sexy... I mean, they could be good songs but those bands have LOT of better songs that are never played on radios
