At the time, our automated FM stations were a bit of a throw-away since we didn't think FM would ever make it (surprise). But they sounded every bit as good, if not better than MY925. I don't get the on-line request thing. If I'm going to be near my computer, I'm going to listen to my computer. I can go to Pandora radio and completely tailor a station to my liking commercial free. If a song comes on I don't like I can simply delete it. I don't have to HOPE they'll play a song I like, I know that's all they'll play. And there's no hokey computer voice telling me the name of the song. If I want to know what's playing, there's a tab that tells me the name of the song, the artist and the album. The key to radio is that it's programmed by professionals to meet the desires of the demographic they are appealing to. I don't have to do anything but listen. Apparently My925 doesn't feel qualified to do that any more. I give the format six months to a year. And all the best to Paul and Lori. I really think they'll come up winners and we'll all be losers.
