I listen to jazz and classical FM radio much of the time on my home system now. A high-quality alternative would be most welcome. But it has to be real radio-like, WITH announcers. The one thing I've always loved about radio is that I'm always hearing something new that I would never think of listening to. I also like hearing the announcers tell me something about the selections. And announcers with personality make things even more enjoyable. In the Philadelphia area we have Jill Pasternack on the classical side of things in the afternoon, and Bob Perkins doing jazz in the evenings. I'd miss both of them very much. Just having music play with no human participation would be too sterile.
