I’m one of those people who has the radio on all the time. When I’m blogging or doing other online tasks, I have my favorite stations on at low volume to serve as background noise. When I’m doing housework or cooking dinner, I crank the tunes up and rock out!
Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot about how much better HD digital radio is than typical analog broadcasts, so I finally looked into what would be required for an upgrade. It turns out that all I need to do is purchase an HD Radio Receiver, and then find out which local radio stations are broadcasting digitally. From there, I can enjoy the unparalleled sounds of HD radio for free, with no monthly subscription fees required.
Since I know nothing about HD radio receivers, I started reading through some information over at HDRadio.com. I found out that many low- to mid-range units are actually quite affordable, and still come with great features such as an iPod dock with iTunes Tagging. I would definitely want this tagging capability because it would allow me to instantly save a song’s information to my iPod, making it easier for me to locate and buy the song the next time I use iTunes.
Finding local radio stations that broadcast in high-def is a breeze, thanks to HDRadio.com. They have a comprehensive list for every state, so whether you’re looking for Seattle, Chicago, or New York High Definition Radio stations, you’ll have a bunch of options to choose from.
I’m sold on this whole idea of upgrading my radios, so I’m going to get an HD receiver for my home. I can’t wait!
