October 22, 2005Radio Is DeadHow interesting it is (I thought today) that as soon as Morning Edition ends on the local NPR station, I immediately turn off my radio and open up iTunes radio, where I can select from a wide array of commercial-free stations that actually play MUSIC that is NEITHER (a) classical (I'm sorry, WUFT-FM, but I do not like it, and opera in particular is the absolute pits) NOR (b) repetitious pop-rock garbage (I'm not even going to bother apologizing to Rock 104; there's no excuse for that). And whenever I hear a song I like on iTunes radio, what do I do? I go to Google, or often directly to Pitchfork, and look up the reviews. Then I go to the iTunes Music Store and sample a few more tracks from the album. If I like them, I download the entire album. If I don't, I download the song. I love this. I absolutely love this. Everything fits and works together so well. Comments
