Rise of Digital Audio Players
Use of air signal only radios (AM/FM) have declined in popularity with the rise of portable digital audio players, which allow users to carry and listen to the music of their choosing and may also include a radio tuner. This is a popular choice with listeners who are dissatisfied with terrestrial music radio because of a limited selection of music or other criticisms. However, transistor radios are still popular for news, talk radio, weather, live sporting events and emergency alert applications.

Famous quotes containing the words rise and/or players:
“Nor could I rise with you,
Because your face
Would put out Jesus’,”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
