What, no FM radio? Seems weird to leave off good old FM in a device that plays "everything"...

It does play "FM" radio via FM rebroadcasting via the internet. Get a free RadioTime.com account associated with your Boom and you can listen to ANY AM/FM broadcast originating from anywhere in the world! Live in NY and want to hear FM stations from NY? L.A.? Miami? Paris? London? San Pualo? Moscow? It's all there just waiting for you to "tune in". :)Though, why you would want to bother with FM when there are THOUSANDS of great, free, better sound quality, Internet Radio stations with FAR fewer commercials (many are completely commercial free) is beyond me. :) It does play "FM" radio via FM rebroadcasting via the internet.

I like to listen to NFL / MLB on the radio, but typically live game broadcasts are not permitted to be broadcast on the internet. So I may find myself turning off the Squeezebox and turning on the old AM/FM to listen to the NFL. Not a deal breaker by any means, just an annoyance.(I know if I paid for Sirius I could listen to all the NFL games, but that's an expensive option. I also have a little Sangean AM-FM I can plug into the Boom.)

You can't get NFL on the radio on Sirius through the internet.Only if you have a Sirius hardware device.

Yes, same with XM, both services limit which streams are available via online streaming.

No just move your music etc to a USB or SD, plug in, and set your FM radio to Soundfly's frequency. Done

No - it is only FM. I bought it because the website said AM/FM and when it came, it was only FM. I complained to amazon, but I see they still haven't changed the description.

Sorry, I have only ever used FM. But that is mediocre at best as well. I mainly use my iPhone with the supplied cable to play music.

I have two Sansa players and have been very happy thus far. Owned an older Zen model, most unhappy, and because they've never had an FM radio, refused to purchase an Apple player.

Sorry I could not get an FM HD station in my home so returned the radio for a full refund. others have answered that question -- probably not needed

I'm not sure. I'm out of state right now; so, I can't check it out. My guess: yes, you can listen to FM with Aux plugged in.

Are there any plans to update for Last.Fm? I'm shopping around for WiFi radios and this is something I'm looking for...

I believe you are referring to the antenna. If you plan on using the am/fm tuner than leave it alone. If you NEVER want to use the am/fm tuner than cut it off.

Its always been a problem with small transistor radios. Nothing wrong with it. I live in NYC and somehow can't hold an FM signal unless I'm holding it. It's understandable. Don't think it doesn't work.

Hi I believe a Kaito Radio. Might have been a good radio but the one I got had NO FM. I returned it.

I'm pretty sure you need a radio. I think you either have to use the auxiliary port on the radio or tune it through a certain radio station if you don't have a port.

SBH50 doesn't have a speaker, so even if it played FM without the wired headphone I wonder how you'd be able to listen to it! I doubt it is designed to send the Bluetooth signal to a Bluetooth speaker...!

The one displayed, which I own does not have an mp3 player. Keep looking thought. GPS manufacturers are getting very creative. Particularly the after market car radio/GPS combos. Look at Best Buy. I was there today and was very impressed with the selection.

I tried it out today...FM radio sounds great. The player even has an "auto scan" option similar to seek in a car radio - it will automatically pick up all the stations that have good reception/audio quality and put them all in presets. This way you don't have to go through every decimal number (98.4, 98.5, 98.6,etc) looking for stations.

Your display has nothing to do with the radio playing. The radio will still play without the display.
