I have heard of a grand total of zero songs on Billboard's current Hot 100

I'm not paying for satellite radio, either, even though I spend a lot of time on the road these days.
But what rigamarole is involved in streaming music in your car.
I get in the car and play my music or Spotify or podcasts, etc. It is just as simple as turning on terrestrial radio.

 

It can be difficult to stream in cars that are more than a decade old. At one point I was driving an early 2000s sedan and had to run my phone through one of those old cassette to auxiliary things. It was a pain in the ass. I found those FM transmitters to be unreliable. Every car I've had since has at least had an auxiliary input, but even with that the wires short out over time. I'm on my third or fourth in two years.

 

Eww. She looks a little too young there.
I was thinking more along

 

How?
Edit: and what the hell is a Spotify?

 

Is that Peter Frampton?

 

I get into the car. Turn on receiver.
It has options for AM, FM, satellite (to which I don't subscribe, so a useless button for me) and Bluetooth.
I hit the Bluetooth button.
I listen to music from my phone through the car's audio system.

It literally requires the same amount of work as turning on the radio.



Also, Spotify is a digital music service. I do not subscribe. I use the free version of the app, which still has much, much fewer commercials than terrestrial radio.

 

My quick google search didn't do her justice.

 

Oh. Not about to use my phone for anything other than calls and texts, email and the occasional web search. Besides, my car only has houndstooth

 

Try an iPod Touch. All the fun of an iPhone without the phone. Uses WiFi only. I download a podcast or two before I leave for work in the morning, or just listen to music on the way in.

 

I'm the same way. There are songs I used to like, and now that I hear them on the radio all the time, I'm tired of them.

I've found myself putting on 50s stations, country stations, even the occasional classical station just to hear something different.

 

I'm one of those strange people who can also ride in silence for hundreds of miles, no problem. The voices in my head keep me plenty busy.

A few years back I tried listening to podcasts on an old iPod thingy, but all they did was talk, talk, talk.
