You only listen to latin music for the reggaeton? Not the salsa, merengue, bachata? There's so much to Latin music, it's too bad some people only listen to Spanish rap.

I drive 'Dad's Car '96 5-Speed Manual Honda Accord EX Coupe' and 'Mom's Car 91 Saturn SL1' (both with factory radios) often, but not enough to bother saving presets.

However, I do have several of my own cars, and here are my settings, although the order changes depending on the car and when and if the battery gets disconnected, and how lazy I am when resetting them:

Usually something like:

FM1 #1 95.1 WRKI (I like it)

FM1 #2 95.9 WEFX (I like it when WRKI is playing something I can't stand)

FM1 #3 88.1 WMNR (I LOVE it, but only when I'm in the mood for driving with classical or on Saturday nights-- Best sounding radio station on the CT dial, bar none. Tuned in 75% of the time when the radio is on here)

FM1 #4 91.1 WSHU (ok for some CPR news, not the best sounding station for music and often goes harshly against my political views)

FM1 #5 89.5 WPKN (See above)

FM1 #6 107.9 WEBE (Fiance likes it)

FM2 #1 99.1 WEZN (Fiance likes it even more)

FM2 #2 102.9 WDRC (Always wondering how badly the sinking ship is taking on water, and once in a while, I hear something I like even though the audio has a lot of room for improvement)

FM2 #3 92.1 WLNG (Great night-time oldies listening with personality to back it up. Keep the missing pet alarms and the swap and shop to yourself. I miss the AM side of the equasion. Not only did the AM sound better, the jingles sounded better singing '16 & 92')

FM2 #4-6, FM3 1-6 UNUSED unless I find something I might want to come back to. I usually don't. After that, there's always the SEARCH button.

AM1 #1 770 WABC (Crummy audio, decent programming depending on when you listen)

AM1 #2 880 WCBS (Best sounding commercial AM audio in the tri-state area, NO INFOMERCIALS EVER!!)

AM1 #3 850 WREF (AM Stereo and I like it like that, kudos to Scott Shannon. This is the only completely bird fed station I can tolerate)

AM1 #4 800 WLAD (Hey Irv... Why did you shut off the AM stereo????????)

AM1 #5 1520 WWKB (Stereo, but, umm, not stereo??? What's the point? Great programming,though)

AM1 #6 960 WELI (DAMN YOU BASTARDS CLEAR CHANNEL GIVE THE AUDIO BACK!! Glenn Beck rules, Jerry Kristofer is a jerk).

[CTListener]

FM 1:
1. WDRC-FM 102.9 (Still holding out hope that it will live up to the "building Connecticut's biggest music library" promise of last November, but now that it seems that everyone is under orders to play at least one Billy Joel, Lionel Richie or Hall and Oates song every hour -- and nothing but overplayed hits by any of them -- I'm rapidly losing it. Although I did hear Bobby Womack's "Looking for a Love" the other day, and Terry Gibbs' "Somebody's Knockin'" last night.)
2. 107.5 (Acceptable frequency for my XM FM modulator.)
3. 88.3 (Another acceptable frequency for XM.)
4. WAQY 102.1 (Slightly bigger playlist than WPLR, at least to my ears.)
5. WHCN 105.9 (Not a bad mix of classic and current -- add a little old R&B and they'd be better than DRC, but I don't see that happening.)
6. WWYZ 92.5 (I was really into country for years, from the '70s through the mid-90s, but now I like maybe 1 out of every 10 songs. This station is in my presets basically just in case country takes a turn toward the traditional again.)

FM 2:
1. WPKN 89.5 (For occasional folk, Celtic and blues fixes -- plus the bi-weekly Motown show, when I remember to tune in.)
2. WAMC relay 91.9 (Southington, CT) (It's only 1 watt, but I'm in the area, and occasionally listen when driving locally. This also doubles as a WUMB preset when I visit family in the Boston area.)
3. (Boston preset) WMKK 93.7 (Mike-FM, a Jack variant from Entercom.)
4. (Boston preset) WBOQ 104.9 Gloucester, MA (Oldies station that still sounds like pre-"big hits" DRC-FM.)
5. (Boston preset) WODS 103.3 (Oldies. Super-tight playlist, but there are some songs I'll never get tired of.)
6. (Boston preset) WKLB 99.5 (Country. Mainly for the classic country show on Sunday mornings. I guess this preset becomes 102.5 when the sale of WCRB becomes final.)

AM:
1. WFAN 660 New York
2. WCBS 880 New York
3. WMMW 1470 Meriden (for New Britain Rock Cats baseball)
4. WPOP 1410 Hartford
5. WTIC 1080 Hartford (for the Red Sox)
6. WHYN 560 Springfield (for the weekday Red Sox games that WTIC won't pre-empt Limbaugh for)
