Are there truly so few of us that enjoy listening to the good old fashioned radio? Why is the FM radio player app for the n900 so barebones, and why does no one seem to care about it? Who even wrote the app? Is anyone maintaining it (when I click 'about' in the app it doesn't show anything)?

I would just like some basic additional functionality:


- a straight-up, digital tuner instead of this pseudo-retro thing that I am always struggling with in trying to get it to go to a specific station

- a basic 'seek/scan' function that will hunt down valid stations (like, well, every single fm radio since about 1980)

- the ability to download a list of stations in your area and have the presets added automatically (i swear the symbian player I had on my e63 could do this)

That's about it. I spent about a 1/2 hour searching the forums but could only find an initial speculation thread from 09 and some bug reports; am I missing something? Is everyone just too cool for FM?
