Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?

The question of course assumes everyone has a streaming device, whatever that is ;-). But I don't understand---is there something wrong with listening to music via a tuner?

Onhwy61, again, I'm sure Frog appreciated the DJ calling him back and giving him that info. It was totally unnecessary for him to call the DJ at all. WBGO, the radio station that he was listening to, posts the playlist of everything they play...kept in real time. Frog merely had to go their website...immediately and could have gotten the info in minutes. The playlists are searchable 2 months into the past. When I lived in Denver more than 20 years ago, KUVO had this feature. KJAZ here in Long Beach has this feature.

In my view, streaming radio sounds more sterile compared to its sweeter and more musical sounding analogue FM counterpart.

That said, you need to get a nice (probably vintage) FM tuner to hear radio at its best. A lot of the "modern" FM tuners found in most receivers these days are inexpensive thrown-in afterthoughts and don't sound much, if any better than computer streaming radio.

In my area we have some good sounding FM stations of different genres and it's nice to have a good sounding FM tuner around to take advantage of it. I just flip the power switch and I'm up and playing music.

Real people work at Minnesota and Wisconsin NPR and impart real knowledge in general and local classical events in particular.
If you don't listen to classical or jazz I suppose there is no reason to listen to FM.

I listen to WGBO at home for a few hours a day, since I do not spend much time in my car. I have found that the best way to discover new music is listening to FM radio. Most of the music services are not very good for discovering new music. Long live FM.
