[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago (2 children) The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Most stereos had tuners. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 point 9 months ago Fair enough but I ain't using the radio element most of the time. I'm using the 8 track, cassette, record, or CD players not really a radio guy it's been shit for my entire life. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 point 9 months ago Actually that changed quite a long time ago. Even when FM radio was still a thing, most “receivers” stopped including radio and “tuners” became on external component that not everybody bought. I think our “stereo” in the 80’s had a stand-alone tuner even. That is for a real “stereo”. Boom boxes and the like had it all built in. The other factor of course is that tuners went digital. Most factory car stereos continue to include digital tuners even today. permalink fedilink source parent
