My phone has an FM radio.

I've listened to it in long international flights just to see how things change.

other than that it serves no purpose whatsoever.

I suppose it could be useful in an emergency but I'd bet just having cell seryqould fair better.

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.

Why not make cases with FM radio built in?

What do you mean again, my smartphone has a radio and it came out in 2019?

Bring back vinyl record players!

Thankfully my Cardo headset supports FM radio because my Fairphone doesn't and I like to have radio when I'm on a ride.
