Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore?


I’m not referring to streaming, I mean an actual FM turner. I haven’t had a turner for at least 15, probably more like 20 years. I had a high-end one that went bad years ago and even then I hadn’t really used it in years. Just wondering if anyone still uses one and why?

Added info: back in my college days there were lots of reasons, some great DJ’s in the New York City area and sometimes a live concert broadcasts that were great, but those times are long gone, as is most of my hair and my 32 inch waistline.....I’m not trying to judge anyone for still listening to music on a FM tuner, just asking for the reason to do so.

Hope everyone had a good holiday season.

I can only get a highly unreliable dsl service in my current location. Streaming has not been possible. Also, the topography between my house and my preferred stations is full of hills up to 1500'. I have tried as many highly thought of tuners as I could find locally. Sansui's, Mac's, Kenwoods, Magnum dynalabs,... Sensitivity of every one was insufficient? Or something?  I finally settled on a cheap old Sony ST-J75. Hands down the best of the lot for dealing with my situation. I listen to the Jazz, Classical, and community radio stations in Portland, Oregon. It sounds quite good too and locks on stations. I never have to adjust the antenna. And I can get an excellent variety of music 24/7.
