So I could ditch DVD plates, CD players. radio tuners etc etc and just run everything of networked devices .

What is it withy fanatical vegans. Really "trillions" of animals. Are we talking of ants, insects or some other small single celled creatures? On the other hand, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_slaughter It seems only 1/14 of your trillion animals (less if you claim trillions) are slaughtered for meat and meat products, so best think of other candidates for your small minded abuse? https://ibb.co/ZVXLsjL Hypocrisy, logical inconsistency and cognitive dissonance at it's worst. You are the near perfect example of hypocrisy, logical inconsistency and cognitive dissonance.

Airable has done so. https://www.airablenow.com/airable/radio/ The 320k BBC stream now identifies as BBC Radio 3 HD This on my Yamaha AVR which uses Airable after a change from VTuner with a firmware update a couple of years ago Internet radio lags behind FM by a few seconds. Switching from FM on the last Pip of the time signal I catch the last couple of pips from the net. -- Ken |

Especially before the advent of recording Music, specifically classic music is by definition old No, it is still being written today, mainly for film scores its true, but it is being written..classical music is scored music for an ensemble, with an conductor and may instruments.. and can come from anywhere like a deceased relative's record collection.

But BBC, especially Radio 4 and to a far lesser degree some German programs are different. I would say the reverse. there is far less advertising on radio than on television, and the BBC advertises more than anyone. Its just paid for by the EU and by the license fee payer, and consists of wall to wall progressive left Marxist and woke propaganda -- "In our post-modern world, climate science is not powerful because it is true: it is true because it is powerful."
