It is actually COMICAL when you think about it...
Decades ago people used to ether collect recordings OR listen to Radio stations.
While the recordings they owned required THEM to come up with their own 'mixes', the radio stations would provide free mixes at the cost of having to listen to a bunch of advertisements between tunes.
Fast forward to the modern age and while you can STILL collect recordings, hardly ANYONE listens to Radio anymore and would rather PAY to stream some providers library of music that might be (or not) providing a mix of music.
While it has not happened to Audio YET, watch for all the Audio streaming services to continually increase costs to the point of introducing a 'reduced price tier' that includes - advertising! LOL!!!
(much like the Video streamers have already done)
