[Electronics-talk] setting radios

[Snow White Dove]

I know what you mean about the radio thing though.
I have a Bose system. Just a little clock radio thing. But it sounds better than anything else I have.
The screen has all the junk on it too. But I can't see it either.
Unlike you I have to guess too.
It would be nice to have something that sounds good, and you can actually use it properly.

Besides, I believe you need consistent internet access to use something like itunes radio; I do not always have consistent wireless connections.

>> Hi all,
>> Setting up the radio station you want is with buttons on most radios; in the past, you had a tuner knob to set stations and no digital way to program in stations.
>> 
>> Its important to see the station to know where you are.
>> Are there talking radios? I know the ipods read you the station frequency you’re at, but other than that, I can’t think of anything accessible.
>> 
>> How do you find the stations you want? Just listen? Ocasionally with good light, I can see the number. Otherwise, I have to listen and guess what station I’m at based on the music played and number of times I’ve pressed a button. For instance if I’m at 99.5 and wish to go to 98.7, I know I don’t have to press the buttons much to get there, but if I wanted to tune to 88.5, I have a long way to go.

>> For music, I love cds! I find them most accessible as you simply put in your cd and press buttons to go to the track you desire or play it on the pc with something like windows media player, and still select your track or listen straight through.
>> Old fashioned, but I find its most accessible except for the ipod route. Most music services such as rhapsody are not very accessible. Oh, nor is the hd radio real accessible either. So cds, IMO, are one of the best options.
