that's why I keep using a hertzian radio, makes a stroke due to exces choice less likely... one day, I'll have to switch to something net based, but I'm in no hurry.

I still use a long wave receiver. Nice to have cricket now and again.

Well I'm a fan of modern(ish) Jazz - which is to say I don't like trad jazz..and I stumbled on a Radio Station based in Florida that plays non-stop jazz - nearly all modern(ish). A few very short adverts - hardly any really - and a recorded announcer who doesn't say much either. I have it on nearly all the time at the moment.

The Ethiopian mouth harp drone music station will have to wait a bit...

Sirius XM is buying Pandora for 3.5 billion. Wonder how this will shake out? Spotify has been significantly cutting into Pandora's revenues.

I was using google play, but it started policing me, so I went to an 'off-line only' service and my own mp3's.

My sweetheart ripped me a couple songs off the youtubes, and I noticed that those songs were removed from my playlist (AND my android phone) after a short time.

Since removing google play in favour of Musicolet, my stolen music stays where it is.

I won't be going back to online feeds. In fact, due to the running hobby, I would like to get a mini mp3 player which doesn't connect to anything but headphones. The ipod shuffle was a good example (though I wouldn't install an apple product) but I'll have to find something similar for running.

Fair enough, though 'steal' is a bit of a weird position to take. I guess with Disney raising everyone, owning culture is somehow normalized...

But what about those services being able to review the files on your device, and remove the ones it decides are not ok? Is that ok with you?

Copyright is pretty stupid, overall. I ignore it at will, as does everyone who ever sang 'Happy Birthday' without paying royalties.

Well you used the word 'stolen'. I used to download shitloads from Piratebay - and I think I would again if I wanted something by say the Beatles - who I have purchased copies of their albums multiple times over the years . But I haven't for at least 5 years now. Most bands only just scrape by.

I did, but I am also 'raised by Disney'.

If artists got the money, I might feel different, but I don't care enough about media companies to 'respect their ownership' of our culture.

Our songs, stories and plays are OURS. Corporations do very well by stealing them, marketing them and hiring lawyers to attack those who threaten their business, but it doesn't mean I have to respect it.
