Yes yes, you can find any little thing to add as an argument to support "I don't listen to radio", but a lot of us still listen to radio.

Sometimes, you want to find something other than what's in your mp3/CD/cassette collection. Growing up, there were very specific shows that I would listen to specifically for being introduced to something (whether it was new or old and just new to me). Radio did not become a bad experience to me until Clear Channel/Comcast bought up all of the non-indies and made it greater than 80% chance that you'd hear a commercial whenever you tuned into any given station.

I'd also suspect that your "a lot of us" sounds really big in whatever echo chamber you find yourself

> a lot of us still listen to radio.

For sufficiently qualified values of "us", perhaps. But I do not believe that is true for the general population.

Your presumptions are almost as bad as when you assume. Actually, they're better since you can leave the "me" out of the assu prove to be. I've supported my community station KNON since I was in high school. Might have missed here or there, but I've contributed to them longer than anything else.

The only thing dying in this thread are the 3 stations King runs, and whatever notions you thought you had on me.

You can just go look up the numbers. There's a large Pew study about it.

There's a Pew study on how I don't support my local radio? Interesting.

For the salient definition of "you", yes.

I have 15 year old vehicles. I listen to the radio in all the cars I drive as does my spouse. The receivers in our vehicles are too old to have Carplay and with the removal of the audio jack in phones there's no way to connect them to the audio system. We do have one vehicle that can stream over Bluetooth but it can be a hassle and distracting in traffic so we usually only use it on road trips. Locally it's easier to turn on the radio and use presets (you can feel them!) to change the channel when it gets annoying. It just works mostly.

USB FM broadcast dongles exist. They transmit at ultra-low power, usually with the option to switch between broadcast frequencies (in the event of interference), and permit your digital device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) to transmit audio directly to your car's stereo. Playback controls are on the device, you can of course vary volume or toggle playback on or off from the vehicle's sound system.

It's not fully-integrated bluetooth or audio-in, but it does work and is an option.
