FM→ DAB+ migration… worth it? (sopuli.xyz)

My smartphone has a built-in FM radio. Local shops are selling DAB+ radios. So I have to decide whether to buy one. I’m not really keen accumulate more electronic appliances for marginal gains.

Sound quality alone doesn’t justify it. What other factors are there? Will I get many more stations in Brussels?

I’m hesitant because AFAIK I cannot buy a DAB radio with an EPG+record fuction. (update: looks like I can get a USB stick & use software to fetch timetables & schedule recordings)

What does that mean, exactly? Do you mean an Alexa type of thing? I don’t have a normal unlimited broadband connection so internet radio streaming is not an option for me.

Many DAB radios have a bluetooth input option, which I would have to insist on so I could also play to the speaker from my phone.

That type of thing.

Ah OK then.
