Christmas Every year around this time, I start tuning into the various Music options I have access to. This year, at least for background listening, it seems like Apple Music's Holiday Hits wins Christmas. Decent variety of styles and artists, the promos and transitions are good, and it's ad free. Then, of course, for more intentional listening, my playlist of tens of thousands of rarely played Christmas songs. Other options: iHeart has too many ads and not enough variety, sky.fm hasn't updated the Christmas offering in like 15 years, YouTube Music is just AI generated playlist slop, and all of the public streams I know of are either low sound quality, full of ads, or low variety. LiveOne, as every year, is a close second; good variety, few ads, and that radio sound I enjoy at Christmas. CBC Music and Stingray Music are also good, but unfortunately they have way too many different Christmas channels, resulting in not enough variety on each one, and too many choices for all day work day listening. Where are you getting your Christmas this year?

Christmas @JamminJerry Yeah, I am the only blind person on the internet without my own radio station.

re: Christmas @fastfinge @JamminJerry I would love to see the Fediverse embrace community-oriented internet streaming radio as a big F-U to the status quo

re: Christmas @feld @JamminJerry The big ones are mushroomfm.com, hkcradio.com, the plague, and radio free dish nuts. I don’t know any sighted folks who listen to any of them though.
