Loads quickly, sounds great. Although it's free, you do have to have an iphone or ipod touch to use it. Not sure if it's a viable alternative for others or not..at least, until it's available for other PMPs. I finally got my flytunes account & it’s really impressive. Loads quickly, sounds great.

I read online that it gives you Internet radio but it uses your iPhone (or an iPod touch). I checked out the website & signed up. Not sure when I'll be able to access to check it out.

You live in the sticks (i.e. have to drive more than an hour to get to a shopping district) and the only local stations are spotty in coverage and not to your taste. We live in a low-mountainous region, and any radio coverage at all is difficult to find. There are three radio stations I can get with any kind of consistency in the house, and on the road those are hampered by the local terrain. The stations aren't my flavor, either, one religious, one country/western, and one from the agricultural college nearby. My solution has been to load up the iPod or thumb drive with music and podcasts off of the internet and play those, but the satellite radio option has also been discussed. I think it's more likely we'll splurge on an internet radio player for the house, which basically translates to a cable radio, right? Actually, another reason for satellite radio is:
