........However, I for one am not prepared to buy all the kit needed to access internet radio just to see whether it would be (a) better in s.q. terms (very doubtful) and (b) I'd enjoy the various music selections.
It depends on what equipment you already have as to how much it costs to get internet radio. In my case I was told by my friend & neighbour that my ipod touch would do it & how right he was. The only additional kit I needed were an Apple AV adaptor & an Hdmi cable which were about £70 in total. The quality is generally quite good but not as good as the best FM in my opinion. You are right in saying in your earlier response that live broadcasts seem to be the ones which suffer the most compression & most mornings I finish breakfast listening to recorded music on Radio 3 which usually sounds better than internet radio.
