Mary and Howard are correct. You have five companies that own most of
the radio stations in the states. Most of the talk stations are
conservative.
They also didn't mention that cellular towers, noisy power lines and
transformers from an ageing power grid, computers everywhere, and,

I think the point is, it's a media player, not a web browser or something else
that especially needs to be kept up-to-date or replaced with something newer.
Not too many new audio formats under the sun lately. If someone likes it, why
not use it? I can't speak for new people being introduced to
While I've not dealt with every type of media player that ever was, I don't see
how one could get a whole lot better (as far as accessibility is concerned)
than Winamp; just my opinion, you understand!

Howard,
I have to agree with you. As somebody who grew up loving to DX on the medium
wave band and then later got a ham license, I love radio. But radio in the
United States these days is useless. I wouldn’t spend 10 bucks on a radio.
There’s nothing to listen to. Unless you come to the states,
Dane, you are generalizing. Some ham radio guys know the stuff and some
don't. Whichever I am is no concern to anyone but me. All I am saying is:
(only an opinion); broadcast radio and TV, these days, is nothing but a vast
waste land and not worth the price of any type of receiving device.
Yep fair points, what's the good of us giving feedback to developers to make
their software more user-friendly if the very people we're trying to help want
to use outdated this, that and the other from 80 years ago, wine about change
and not even bother to try out new stuff for themselves.

My question is: once they have it ready for "Prime Time", will it work with
Windows 7? Need to re-read the article again and see if this has been
covered!

I think you're missing the point.
This radio is a very reasonably priced and good sounding set so no matter what
your radio listening habits - long distance or local - then it’s a set worth
getting.
And please forgive me again but those who use Ham radio sets I've found

Meh I guess it's like anything. Some folks just don't want change at
all. I do think these companies that make those coustemized for the
blind PCs perhaps should look at other things. But meh maybe Win-Amp is

Simple answer is probably.

Shame you feel that way as there’s plenty to recommend a radio such as this if
you’re thinking from a content perspective.
Actually one could argue that its probably better to be able to listen to
long-distance radio given the rubbish some local city stations broadcast and

Sure would have been nice to have this radio (or something like it) 60 years
ago. I'm not convinced that there's anything out there worth having a good
radio for.
