If you’ve never heard of HD radio don’t feel bad, I just discovered it myself. In a word, I have to say it’s awesome. Imagine: high definition digital radio without any subscriptions, monthly fees, or contracts. All you need is an HD radio unit itself and you’re ready to listen to all the great HD radio out there including Florida High Definition Radio stations.

If you’re still looking for the catch, there isn’t one. It’s totally free – and if you ask me radio should be free! All your local stations and genres like new country music stations are there waiting to be heard.

HD radio supports iTunes tagging, which is about the coolest thing to hit the radio since… well, since radio itself! Say you’re listening to a song that you like and later want to buy it but can’t remember the name or artist. With iTunes tagging all you have to do is hit the tag button on your HD receiver and it transfers the tag to your iPod so when you sync up, iTunes will show it in a list marked ‘tagged’ so you can buy it or download it. Wow, if I only had back all that time I’ve spent trying to remember the name of the song I was humming all day.
