How much time do you spend listening to music each day or week?
When I have breakfast in the mornings and then again for a while before bedtime.

It probably averages around 4 hours a day, almost all on BBC Radio Three. I devote a similar time to Radio Four, primarily speech programmes in a huge variety of types and subjects.
When driving, especially on long journeys, my car radio is more often on R3 than R4, with very rare excursions to R2. Never R1.
If there is nothing on to take my fancy at any particular time, at home or driving, I switch the wireless off. Simple!

@SW-User :-) You are of course, joking!
(For the benefit of others puzzled by that in-joke - Rye and I are both Britons - BBC Radio Three is a primarily music channel anchored in so-called "classical" music and indeed does play a lot of Classical music; but in a spectrum from Mediaeval to present-day; and its total range of styles is far wider than all the other music services put together.
About the only genre it does [i]not[/i] play apart from the occasional track in some particular context, is pop & rock. That is left to Radios One and Two; but their own ranges have narrowed over the years. R1 now plays only charts and dance-club material, and R2 has thrown away some of the more specialist music programmes once its hallmark.
Radio 3 also hosts the world's largest, annual, international music festival - no, not Glastonbury, which is probably the second-largest, more or less pop music only and anyway biannual; but the 8-week Henry Wood Promenade Concerts season of both established and new, some commissioned, music.)

@BalthazarBlake Very much so. They have three internet streams and the broadcast on 648 kHz AM. Take a look at https://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#648_am.html

Not a single day passes without listening to music.
It is a great comfort, like a favorite movie or book.

@bijouxbroussard I love piano music. We used to have one when I was a kid. You can buy keyboards with a similar sound, which is okay if you don't have room for a piano, but it isn't the same or I'd buy one.
