Are broadcasting stations going to longer lists of tunes now that people
have appliances like IPOD's that can store many albums of music?

Good question. This is not a simple issue.

An iPod has "my favorite songs" on it. A radio station tries to have
"everyone's favorite songs" on it. So, to get consensus songs, the list is
shorter because I may love what you hate!

The younger the listener, the shorter the list. I do see stations appealing
to adults trying to add variety, but nothing like 1000 song iPod
collections.
