I am listening to Record Review, but not on my normal devices. Often I feed the optical output of my MacBook Pro to my DAC and hence to the amp and speakers, but today I've been unable to do this. I get a message to either "upgrade" to an app or change my cookie settings. I now haven't a clue what to do. I tried changing from Firefox to Safari with the same result.
OK - I'll probably figure it out in the end, but this seems to be another case where "modern" technology is inferior to old fashioned - just turn them on - radios. The audio quality will be better if I can get it to work, but devices or systems which don't work, or are very complicated are somewhat of a pain. Oh - another thing - an old fashioned radio is unlikely to change its behaviour from week to week due to the whims of the broadcasters, the distribution networks, or the reconfiguration of some local device - here my computer - which the end user may not even be aware of.
