Callers to the new Jack FM radio station in San Diego are greeted by a smug voice with this message: "If you want to request a song, call somebody else. We play what we want." A radio station telling listeners to buzz off would have been heretical a few years ago. Now it's just business. As satellite radio and digital music players such as Apple's iPod steal listeners from conventional radio, stations are trying to capture the best of those new technologies -- the variety and seemingly random order of the songs.
