i have done some research but i cannot seem to find a soundcard with a radio tuner...does it exist? i want to get rid of my stereo since that is he only reason i have it. if there isn't one can anyone give me any good alternative to save some space on my desk?

cant think of any sound cards like that right away, but there are a few tv tuners that have radio tuners in them.

if you have high speed internet, why not just stream the audio from there?

Agree, unless there are local shows you want to listen to, stream, for music much better source. Not only do get a huge selection but you'll actually find good music regardless of the genre and a lot of unknown artist.
