So much music that we never hear!

Try SirusXM radio in your vehicle.  I also use their app to listen at work on my computer sometimes.  Try Tidal and Qobuz in your system at home.  After your specific choices have played, those services will continue to play similar but different choices.  These options have made things interesting and more enjoyable for me compared to my listening being limited to my own CD library or standard radio station catalogs.  I now hear music I have never heard as well as music I know but have forgotten about because I don’t own the CD.

I think since the 21st century, anyway, the influence of 'radio' has declined somewhat dramatically - there are just so many more ways to check out and listen to music, like this new-fangled 'streaming' stuff... 😆

Another reason there's so much music you never hear is because there is so much music out there, even in any particular genre, that you'd need several lifetimes just to make a dent in hearing everything. But with Qobuz, Tidal, Roon, etc, there's not really much of an excuse for not listening to what you want to hear. 

Commercial radio been dead for decades as far as I'm concerned. Student University stations can have great programming at times. Public radio stations seem to be going more and more to talk.

Streaming is where its at, you can be your own radio programmer.

Death of radio?

And here I have avoided it for 16 years.

The most exposure I get now is when I get a haircut.  

If you wanna hear new music try BandCamp or any other streaming service. At least you can hear what genres you like instead of what some computer thinks you wanna hear.
