Re: [IRCA] IBOC/analog reception comparisons.

["David Gleason" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is definitely an element of "it's my list" but the fact is, extensive
research showed the average number of songs on an iPod is 300 and they
closely mirror the playlist of the radio station the iPod user listens to. 

The key issue is that carrying an iPod is cool, while a (analog) radio is
not. iPod = cool. Digital = Cool. Make radio digital, it is cooler than it
was and moves up in image among entertainment choices.

It doesn't have anything to do with digital, except as a means to an 
end.  It is their play list, not someone else's, that's why they like it.
