Every time I get in a car without Bluetooth or an aux and have to listen to the radio, I'm quickly reminded that I'd actually prefer to listen to road noise than ads and turn it off.

What do you mean again, my smartphone has a radio and it came out in 2019?
Why not make cases with FM radio built in?
FM access would cut down on mobile data usage… up-to-the-minute weather reports and automated alerts… are broadcasted at 162.400, which means you need specialized radios to pick up the stations… maybe an external antenna could use the shield or one of the pins on the phone’s charging port, or wired USB-C headphones and 3.5mm adapters could be updated to work as antennas… There could also just be an adapter that connects to the phone and contains all the required hardware…
What the fuck is this person smoking?

Thankfully my Cardo headset supports FM radio because my Fairphone doesn't and I like to have radio when I'm on a ride.
Bring back vinyl record players!
Wdym again?
I must be ootl; what’s the upside compared to Spotify ? Having to endure ads, talk-shows and other open mics while having shitty reception isn’t enticing… at least here there isn’t any station I would find satisfying content-wise; given the whole frequency assignment bullshit small stations are few and far between with nothing that would cover metal and / or frenchcore. So the small benefit of music discovery isn’t really possible anymore for me.
