The problem is the lousy signal range of GSM devices and even Sprint's less than perfect CDMA network. I'd have been good if I could do at least some roaming on Verizon. Now the only place I don't have coverage is in the center of a building where the 850Mhz don't quite penetrate like the 1.9Ghz did.
My music library is local as opposed to streamed, so I've never had the problem that you were asking about, even in areas with no signal. And if memory serves me correctly, while listening to streaming radio, during those pesky tower transitions, it actually picked up and finished buffering where I left off, which I thought was simply amazing.

@ 2 Bunny
I'm lucky if I even get 300kbps. With Tmobile I know I'll be getting between 1.2m and 25m
