Restless, if you have a 12v outlet in your car, you can buy a Bluetooth compatible device (they range in price greatly, $30-100) that will broadcast on the FM band..then you can tune your car radio and stream whatever you want from the device you connect to the Bluetooth FM transmitter. I use a ~$40 unit, the GOgroove Flexsmart x2, to meet the 'hands-free' requirement for my phone. Most of these units allow you to connect any audio device via 3.5mm cable, Bluetooth, USB charging, etc. - FYI, they also have rechargeable battery powered units too, some sit in the visor,etc. but they are really designed for talking.
Then you won't be stuck listening to the awful 97.7. I personally usually listen to 102.9, until Frank goes too far back with the music selection and gets twangy. However, this weekend out in the Virginia mountains, I played downloaded music from my phone through the GOgroove to the car stereo and it worked great.
I blame my mother.
