What WOULD be cool, on the other hand, is if these satellites/GPS/whatever would let you tune into stations from OTHER local markets. I live in NYC and, to put it nicely, we don't have much in the way of a current rock or alternative station (the ones we do, still like to mix in classic rock every 3 songs which, while fine, already oversaturates the market). I think it'd be cool to be in NYC and listen to KROQ, WFNX, Indie 103, KNDD The End, Live 105, etc.

AOL and CBS combine their creative geniuses and the best available new technology to duplicate your old Walkman's functionality.

It's hard for me to imagine how anyone could be, but possibly you're the exception.

"Thomas Edison has come up with a machine that reproduces sound, so now you can hear Stephen Foster's shitty new song anytime you want. When the music business is created, someone's going to lose their job over this."
