The reason I hardly use it now is FM RADIO POSITIVELY SUCKS THESE DAYS.
The signals are all over-modulated and compressed, and the rap-crap, hip hop, loud lousy so called musical program material is absolutely unlistenable.
The only show I listen to regularly on FM is the NPR program, "Car Talk"--and that isn't even music!
When one of my friends and I were in high school, we had an underground FM radio station.

I totally agree, Fm sounds terrible. I bought a really mint Mr-78 about a year ago. All it does is collect dust.
