Out in the tractor radio is pretty much the only option, cell service comes and goes over the hills but the radio is always there for you!

I mean you could get a bluetooth speaker and download some music but then you'll have to decide what you want to listen to and thats a lot to ask some days.

I actually run my own streaming setup where I stream off my computer through VPN, local buffering on the phone, it works really well in the truck where service is usually not interrupted for that long.

However a lot of people don't realize just how many hours of music you can burn through when you're putting in 12hr+ days in the field or even the mental effort in picking what to play next when your eyes are up front (I don't run autosteer on anything). So just turn on the radio and get the job done!
