I actually listen to radio quite a bit, not just in traffic. Stream my local rock station, even when out of town.

Interesting info. I am surprised Radio is still a big chunk....though, I suppose there are lots of people listening while stuck in traffic during their commute........

These guys have been hiding right under my nose. I probably did catch them a time or two at Tipitina's in New Orleans, but didnt grab an album.

In the truck its Sirius satellite radio, and at home it's a combination of CD, Vinyl, or FLAC files.

Agreed. And, probably a good number who listen to Radio, over their www.Wxxx.com website, which most FM stations (and some AM?) have opted to build, just like TV stations have built smartphone apps, to continue to reach their audience, albeit, through a new medium of broadcast. For me, I still listen to my tuners, Carver TX-2, TX-11a, and TX-11b (in my systems). Office has a TX-2, which get's the most play.

We've teamed up with a company from Hong Kong to make obsolete parts! They are making a new version of the very rare and expensive Sanken transistors that we use of the M-500t mkII upgrade modification - 2SA1295/2SC3264 This is great news! I'm going to stress test these new transistors to make sure they meet the intended quality. If so, we'll be able to continue the M-500t mkII for years to come!

Great to hear.

How the World Listens to Music https://www.statista.com/chart/32880/share-of-hours-spent-engaging-with-music/ IFPI's landmark Engaging with Music 2023 report provides insight to the music industry from the perspective of fans, with survey data of over 43,000 internet users across 26 countries. It found that on average, respondents listened to 20.7 hours of music each week, up from 20.1 hours per week in 2022. IFPI also reveals that on average, people listen to eight or more different genres and use seven or more different methods to engage with music. As the following chart shows, audio streaming now makes up the biggest share in terms of methods used for listenership.
