HD or High Definition Radio delivers better-than-CD quality to a receiver in your house or in your car, all you need is a local radio station broadcasting their signal in HD. Think of how much better a tv show or movie looks when you watch it on an HD tv channel, that’s how much better music sounds on HD Radio, whether you listen to new country music stations, Top 40 stations, or classic rock.
If you have an HD Radio in your vehicle, and you are traveling to Florida this summer, check out the Florida High Definition Radio stations. Like most other states, Florida’s radio stations have been upgrading their equipment to have the ability to broadcast HD signals. So far, there are 1500+ HD radio stations.
Another cool way to use an HD Radio is by using iTunes tagging. Using an HD receiver that holds your iPod, when you hear a song on an FM HD radio station that you like, you hit the “tag” button. The song’s info will be saved from your HD Radio receiver to your iPod, and will show up in a playlist called “Tagged” in iTunes the next time you sync your iPod to your computer. So you can click, download and buy the songs you want directly from the Apple® iTunes Music Store. Very cool!
I spend such little time in the car these days that I don’t even know which stations in my area are broadcasting in HD, but now I’d like to find out so I can hear the difference for myself.

Yes…You’re correct. High Definition Radio is the better choice than CD while traveling in the car. Nowadays I have become addicted to HD radio especially the Florida High Definition Radio stations.

I don’t think HD Radios work the same way as HD TV does where you need a new antenna and a different frequency band.. FM Radio stations have to restrict their bandwidth (which restricts high defination sound), because too many other adjacent stations trasmitting nearby, so HD Radio instead has sent the analog signal digitally, so they can actually compress the higher quality signal, to fit within a restrictive channel spacing slot, which is why it doesn’t transmit a signal on a completely differenct band all together, like Sirius Radio does, via satellite transmission.. By the way, Sirius merged with XM Radio merged recently.. I wonder if this will also cause them to be more competitive with HD Radio and their lower prices and/or bring in more stations as well..
