The problem is the "personalized" music services, such as Pandor,
Slacker, and Last.FM which allow the listener to program their own
"personalized" music stations. clearchannelmusic.com/hdradio just runs
what some programmer thinks listeners want to hear, not listener
chosen, personalized playlists. This is why, such new technologies,
such as Ford's (Microsoft's) new Sync will allow seamless streaming of
iPods and cell phones that contain Pandora, to in-dash units which
will revolutionize the way music is played - it is over for such
antiquated technologies as HD Radio. It is only a matter of time.
