Sound-only, yes. If I go to a live performance it's "I love work, I can
watch people doing it for hours", but it's not often I find the visuals
important (is this maybe age-related ? I started listening to music
before the pop video became a Thing).

The visuals can be useful for an opera or ballet. I confess I generally had
little interest in either *until* I could watch them in decent quality as
well as having the sound in decent quality. To me, that made a significant
difference even though I prefer closing my eyes when listening to other
kinds of music which have no specified relationship to anything that it
accompanies.

Content is what really matters.

Hear hear !


Personally, I think my 50p a day is well spent just to get such things.

Plus, in my case, the once-off cost of buying the equipment.

get_iplayer is your friend. If you have a computer with a decent display
you can get a lot of what the BBC broadcast in quite decent vision and
sound. For some years now, that has been my main route for BBC TV and Radio
3.

Well, yes; it's a lack of motivation rather than ability.
