There are only three classical-music channels: symphony hall,
opera, and pops. Sheesh. There are dozens of channels for
pop, rock, R&B, country. There's a dozen for pop alone.
That's pretty standard for most music services. Comcast and
Rhapsody don't have much either. Typically they'll have the
Real Classical, the Light Classical, and the Opera channels, and
that's it.
It bugs me. If I'm in the mood for blues or bluegrass, I go to the
appropriate channel and that's what they're playing. If I want,
say, baroque, I'm SOL unless by chance there's a piece playing on
one of the classical channels.
I've often thought there would be a market for a bar that is well-
lit, has comfortable chairs, and plays classical music at a volume
that doesn't drown out conversation.
That isn't a bar, that is a faculty club.
But what if the music isn't baroque?

Then don't fix it.
