Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?

.
Frog, I can get Phil Schaap on WKCR right here in LA. The station broadcasts over the web...and it sounds excellent. I could get him if I lived in France. Nearly all FM stations have a web broadcast.
I own a Sansui TU-X1 beast of a tuner, it is in the rare class of top-shelf tuners that Al mentioned above. LA has only one jazz station...and it's not even in LA, it's in Long Beach and reception is spotty. I keep the Sansui tuner more out of fear that I may one day leave LA and find myself in a place with great FM jazz. And like you Al, I listen on my Squeezebox and keep my tuner for the cool factor also.

My brother in law works at a radio station doing everything from sales, news, and yes, playing music. I help keep him employed.

Mitch4t, Frogman interacted with a human, not an electronic device. The human interaction may have less bandwidth, but it can be a deeper connection.

I use an FM transmitter to "broadcast" music throughout my house.

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.
