I'm getting more and more fed up with the whole Digital Radio thing.
Thinking it was the future, I got myself an nice little radio in the Sony centre. There were signs about the place listing the varius differnt digital radios stations that were available. I was taken, in particular, by the availability of the Mocha station.
On setting up the radio, I was able only to get some RTE-driven stations, most of which didn't interest me. I've had some mild interest, however, in Radio Gold which plays various oldies. It's been handy in that it has shown the name of the artist and song - useful when you hear the odd blast from the past that you might want to add to your collection.
However, even this station has worsened in recent times. There's been a lot of repetition. You're almost guaranteed to hear Meat Loaf's "two out of three ain't bad" every day and there's only so much Neil Diamond any person should be expected to tolerate. They've also discontinued the display of the song title and artist and the choice of music has become even more bogus. Last night they played some Neil Sedaka - (more of a man from the past who should be blasted) and this represents something of a last straw. Now I just feel like I was duped into buying a very expensive transistor.
Is there any hope for Digital radio or should I cut my losses and buy an internet radio.
Rant over - thanks for being there!
