I'm looking for a true plug-in: I'd like an FM Tuner that I could plug into an available USB port.

It doesn't take many people at work to be streaming music before you choke all of the business's bandwidth, but FM radio would not use any and should get plenty of power from the USB port.

I have searched many places, but I have not found a FM Tuner that can simply plug into a USB port.

Has anyone else found anything along these lines?

You probably searching for the wrong keywords. SDR dongles like http://m.ebay.com/itm/321652321738 are pretty cheap and might do the job well. They are well supported in both windows and linux

Awesome.

This type of dongles are used for a lot of DIY projects. See here for instance:

Also note that this will not work in the music addons section but they are likely to work with PVR. You need to choose a backend, check if the dongle is supported and use that backend to search for available channels. That's likely the only way to use kodi to play those FM radio channels.
That being said, please do your homework before buying something that might not work (in kodi) since outside kodi they will work for sure.

RDS (digital) radio via the PVR addons and backends is another option
