Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?


.
With the proliferation of all of the great streaming services and great DACS, why would anyone listen to FM radio for music on their main rig at home any more?. I only listen to FM in my car now.

Depending on your market, stations are using hybrid digital-analogue signals in FM mode.I have a vintage tuner that I enjoy at night at times, with all the illumination and bells and whistles. Streaming quality is all over the map with my local stations, so the tuner does come in handy. Anybody into HD radio?
Phasecorrect, what do you mean when you write, "... stations are using hybrid digital-analogue signals in FM mode?" If we are talking about radio in the US, standard FM audio is analog although, of course, it may have been digitally processed.

If you're talking about iboc "HD" radio, that's purely digital. It's licensed by iBiquity, which says "HD" doesn't stand for high definition, hybrid digital or anything else.

HD radio technology is pretty much a dead-on-arrival technology in the US.
To listen to music/artists you know nothing about and its free. I do not have to have my phone, tablet or other item using up Data.
