I picked cassette, but it is usually some external audio device played through the tape deck. sometimes a laptop, sometimes an mp3 player.other than that, FM, and then CD
Used to be cds until I got an iPod for Christmas, then Jim got me the iPod2car for an after Christmas gift...I NEVER listen to radio, and I finally took ALL of my cds out of the car, so now I have to listen to the iPod.
iPod iPod iPod, though I find myself listening to a lot of audio books and radio shows (old and new) that I get from various sources these days. With the exception of public radio, FM radio doesn't play to my fuddyduddy over-40 age group, and I haven't worked out the bugs with my AM radio reception yet on my aftermarket radio - but hey I can live without AM radio, believe me.
XM (Ethel, Lucy, The System, Squizz) + Whatever MP3's I have on my CarPC I feel like listening to.

I cancelled XMradio, Because they got rid of the only station I really listened to. My daughters bought me a little contraption from a WOOT sponser that turns any USB flashdrive into an MP3 player and transmits it to your FM radio.
When I drive around town I usually have the radio set to the local college station. They play some pretty good alternative bands, non of that crappy pop/rock stuff they have today. On long drives I have my MP3 player.

It worries me that with more an more people simply listening to their 'iPods' that there will be drastic reduction in new, local bands making it any bigger. All we'll get is what's been pushed in iTunes or whatever.I like the radio as it introduces me to stuff i know i'd never have heard otherwise....at least in the Toronto area there are stations like that.I've lived in the Baltimore/DC area and I agree that radio can suck pretty bad in some places!
I have signatures turned off so I'm not even sure what mine says in this space!
Here is a great alternative while at the computer. This is thier motto...Free Form Underground Rock is alive and well on Radio Free Phoenix. With over eight thousand songs and growing. RFP was created in response to the dwindling freedom of expression on the FM airwaves--now a collection of cookie cutter formats with the same small box of songs over and over again in a repetitive circle. Radio Free Phoenix breaks free of corporate radio madness and forges forward with a great new station with the heart, soul and passion that once peppered the great underground rock stations of the pasthttp://radiofreephoenix.com/

CD's here, all the way. Screw radio, I have absolutely no use for the crap programming that one has to endure thanks to radio being taken over by one truly evil corporation. Radio is useful though, I love NPR. And FM gives me a frequency to transmit with my Sirius receiver and iTrip. One of these days when I get rich, I'd love to upgrade to the version of my stock stereo that does MP3's so I don't have to juggle CD's so much but that'll probably never happen.

Dumb question of the day from a person that is semi-technologically literate:Ok, I have an 06 with the 6 disc setup. I love it, but have so many cds and ecclectic tastes that I was thinking about either an ipod (but not liking apple setup right now) or the laptop mp3 idea. Question is, is this possible without getting a new stereo.... I really want to keep the 6 disc system. I don't have an ipod and not sure I want one that bad, but have the laptop, how would this work?

In my car, I listen to my MP3 player.Wife's car, MP3's on CD. Doesn't really matter though, because it's really the same thing either way. My MP3 player has all four albums of the only band I really listen to (HUM), and the same 4 albums are also burned to one CD for when I am in the wife's car. So, regardless what I drive, I still listen to the same thing.
