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?

SomaFM and Radio Paradise (already mentioned) are great picks, both listener-supported and basically ad-free. If part of it is the being-alone feeling and not only the music, one more option: I made a small site, coquiet.app. It plays calm ambient music with no ads or talking, and shows how many other people are in the same "room" right now. No account, no chat, nothing to manage. Disclosure: it's my project. It won't replace a good radio host, but some people like the quiet company.
