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.

Just two weeks ago I heard an absolutely amazing cut by Freddie Hubbard (recognized him immediately) on WBGO out of Newark, NJ; but didn't recognize the tune nor the alto player. I called WBGO and left a message on dj Bob Porter's voicemail inquiring about the tune. Within an hour and a half he had called back to give me all the info I wanted. Try doing that with a streaming service.

Phil Schaap on WKCR is a national treasure with his incredibly in depth commentary and analysis of historical recordings. Yes, plenty of reasons to listen to FM.
Point taken. But, I tend to prefer the old-school way. Tell you what 'though, if you ever listened to Phil Schaap you would probably change your mind.
