well, i didnt have to turn on my fm transmitter either, and not to say
anyone is wrong, but i discovered you can use the headphones and auxilary
for the fm radio or whatever, at the same time, I didn't think you could
but yes, you can
the headphone volume is turned way way down or at least mine was, but then
again i have the myfi receiver and the home little halfcircle they call
the stand
some stations actually are good at telling what song is what but then
again not sure that i listen to the same things most other people do
and for those that were on my blind-xm list, the list is no longer do to
me almost losing the battle to keep linux on this garbage computer, so
unfortunately, list related stuff was gone
for those who were on it from this list, and i know at least one person
was, you may want to spread the word that i lost everything including that
