computeractive.co.uk — Nearly one in four (24 per cent) listens online compared with 21 per cent who tune in to analogue broadcasts. Seventeen per cent use digital (Dab) radio and nine per cent get the programmes via their TV. The remaining 29 per cent represent the proportion of Virgin regulars who do not tune in at all on a given day.

It's difficult to tolerate the radio once you're accustomed to commercial-free entertainment.

I would love to see Internet radio where I can skip songs. About 95% of the songs I hear, I want to skip. :)

The more I look at the stats, the more I am conviced they relate only to Virgin Radio's listener habits. Still, it is technology that is getting in the way of more people becoming podcast listeners. First you have to download and navigate through iTunes or some other aggregator, the if you don't have an iPod then you have to manually transfer the content to your mp3 player. Most cars to not have an aux in on their car's sound system so you either have to get an adaptor or listen via earbuds. On the other hand, I can jump into my car and push a botton to listen to crappy radio. It may be crappy, but it is easy to access. Often my choice is between listening to the radio or listening to my kids scream in the back seats. I normally choose crappy radio.

I found a site that does this, but they don't seem to have much of a user-base yet.<a class="user" href="http://collectik.net/">http://collectik.net/</a>
