I often notice that I need music to keep my mood up especially when I am alone. To not get myself into managing what to actually listen to but to have it as a background radio would actually be perfect.

If there weren't the commercials. Those live rent free in my head and get more annoying everytime I hear them. I can recite those from decades ago and see it as brainwashing and of course have my mental blacklist to never give money to the annoying ones.

Anyhow. Are commercials especially on the radio as unbearable as they are to me? How do you cope? Is there a (internet) station not overdoing it for you?

Agree re ads.

I know people who like Apple Music. I don’t want a subscription service, but it might suit you?

MP3 player or self-hosted streaming bring music under your control while still allowing portability & arbitrarily long playlists.

Like you, though, I don’t always want to manually curate my playlists. I need to look into self-hosted options that will automatically refine playlists for me similar to how Apple Music does for its users. Open to recommendations!
