Martin, I chair the CTA's R3 Audio standards group and one issue we have is low bit rate audio. Even though FM is old it is not compressed (or at least with a minimum of compression). The lossey bit rates used for IP use is really bad. Take a song that has reasonable dynamic range and record it at the 64 or at best 128k bit rates and play it on a decent pair of speakers - you will miss a lot of dynamics and some of the vocal or instruments timber.
So, this is why I still want FM.
