   Ya know, a clock radio costs $25 or so at your local radio shack.
[Well, it's been years since I bought one, so that $25 is just a
guess] That's at least 1/4 of the price of any PC radio boards I've
seen advertised, and will also wake you up in the morning. If you want
something with a little more class or stereo FM, buy a cheap walkman
or boom box and plug headphones into it. Still probably cheaper than
something that fits in a computer, and usually plays tapes or CDs also.

   Part of this is because stereos are mass produced and cheap, while
computer boards are far more precise and manufactured in far smaller
quantities. You may want the 'coolness' factor of your GS acting like
a radio, but there's far cheaper and higher quality alternatives out
there.
