I must be ootl; what’s the upside compared to Spotify ? Having to endure ads, talk-shows and other open mics while having shitty reception isn’t enticing… at least here there isn’t any station I would find satisfying content-wise; given the whole frequency assignment bullshit small stations are few and far between with nothing that would cover metal and / or frenchcore. So the small benefit of music discovery isn’t really possible anymore for me.

They'll never include it as it needs the headphone jack. Unless they expect a huge market for radio, that is big enough for them to offer a mea culpa and give back head phone jacks, it's never going to happen.

Would people love to get headphone jacks back? I'm sure. But I don't see the market being there to get companies to give in on that.
