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.

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.
