I was listening to the radio on the drive into work today and happened to hear a commercial for Circuit City mention HD radio. I thought to myself “WTF? why do we need HD radio when there is XM and so many people are using portable music players connected to their car stereos already, or the built in mp3 playback of a lot of newer car stereos?” So I got to work and Googled “HD radio” and the first result is the official site with the second result being “What is it?” So I leave it up to you to decide whether HD radio is worth the price of a new stereo/adapter with the stations being free “as in regular radio” vs the XM receiver and a monthly fee. Just checked my search results again and it appears iBiquity is the developer, here’s what they have to say about it.
