some TV tuner cards have FM tuners as well. i personally haven't seen a card that is an FM tuner by itself, but then again, i've never looked.

one probably exists somewhere.

The good TV tuner cards have FM tuners as well.
Then again, I wonder--is there anything really worth listening to on FM?

Most cards that include FM tuners also have TV tuners. I haven't seen any FM only cards though. Look here: http://www.hauppauge.com
