I dunno if any of this applies to you guys and radio, but by way of analogy, when I had a tv, I might watch (and enjoy) films that I certainly wouldn't bother with if I had to shove a tape of the same into the VCR that evening.
Likewise, I've found myself hanging around places like cafes, shops etc for a bit longer than necessary cos they're playing a song I like, even though at home I probably wouldn't play it for years.
Could it be that relieved of the burden of choice such as offered by a large record collection, that some minor neurotic anxiety disappears, making it easier to enjoy the music? Nice to be able to delegate responsibility for a decision when normally there's no-one around whos judgement you trust....
Just a thought. I do also think that the modulation processes in FM radio and also, tape, may have something to do with it.
