Jeff, an outdoor antenna can really help FM reception. I use a TV rabbitears antenna spread out so the rods are horizontal and fastened this to a bamboo pole stuck in the ground. It allows me to pull in a 10-watt translator station from 30 miles away.
If you live in an apartment you might could stick this type of arrangement out in the balcony or behind a bush outside the window, etc.
You have to watch out for amplified indoor antennas...in my experience they amplify interfering stations too much causing worse reception than non-amplified antennas. Also a digital tuner is recommended as it seems to usually have sharper selectivity than most analog-tuned FM receivers.
