As a youngster, I used to listen to Malcolm Laycock’s Sunday night programme on R2. Dance band music was a great preparation for the return to work on Monday.
Ambrose & his Orchestra was one of many delights I remember. So it was great to find that the Tidal algorithm would find and play similar artists’ music.
R2, if you were listening to Ambrose, surely you mean the Light Programme. 
I am still on the fence about paying for music streaming services. I do like this idea that they will suggest new music in a similar vein to favourites, but OTOH I like to own physical copies of albums, so would end up paying twice.
I used to have an Apple Music sub but of course when I stopped paying the sub I lost access to some albums and tracks, which was annoying.
I get a “free” subscription to Amazon Music with my Prime account, but that only allows you to listen to their playlists unless you pay for a full separate account, which again is annoying.
I considered getting Roon which will catalogue your existing digitla music collection and then suggest new tracks - but it costs more than Apple Music does per month (or $829.99 for a liftetime licence!), and doesn’t give you access to any new music unless you have a separate streaming account.
My OH is like you Chris, he won’t subscribe to any streaming service, much prefers physical copies of which we have in very large numbers! I personally don’t want or need a , thing, to recommend what I listen to, I’ve got plenty of friends with differing musical tastes that I can speak to if I want something different or new.
I used to be like that but it gets old very quickly after your second or third move.
The other side of the coin is that I had pretty much stopped buying physical media long before streaming became a thing so now I’m at least paying some money, if miniscule, to artists.
OTOH you have the music forever which can’t be said of streaming.
I gave all my LPs away to charity when I moved to Turks & Caicos and have since regretted it.
There were irreplaceable albums in there. For example “Buckingham Nicks” which I had on vinyl from the first release in 1973, and which became an “out of print” collector’s item which was not reissued until late last year.
He used to be a DJ when much younger and kept all his vinyl, all of it moved between houses including our move to France. It was better looked after than everything else, all packed carefully in specially made wooden, locking boxes! He finally got rid of lots but only after he could replace with cd’s, a fair bit has been kept for various reasons.
The cd collection is large and getting larger, it all gets ripped onto the NAS and played via various Sonos speakers. The cd’s are carefully stored away, just incase! It’s safe to say he loves music and has an eclectic taste.
Sorry, friends, I’m baffled by this idea that if you have streaming you have to stop buying LPs and CDs 
I listened to that album when you mentioned it last time. I enjoyed it.
However, it reminds me of a friend who recommended Ritchie Blackmore’s project Blackmore’s Night. Here’s a sample of their oeuvre. It’s not right I should have to bear the burden alone.
No of course you don’t. But in a sense you are paying twice for the same thing.
It was a joke 
I like Tidal because they’re just about the most generous in royalties
As you know, I don’t do jokes…
