Very interesting conversation taking place at the New York Radio Message Board: Is radio now only a medium for the poor?

A poster named Bob Mariansky writes:

Over the weekend my nephew(age 25) told me he listens to MP3 music! He said Radio is just for poor people who can't afford to buy the music they want to listen to! (sorry to say--he might be right!

If you can't afford $300 for an iPod, or a similar amount for a satellite radio - not including monthly subscription or MP3 download costs - what can you do?

Put another way: if you don't have an iPod or satellite, you've got Jack.
