I do occasionally listen to CBC Music Playlists, (see link; only works in Canada). CBC provides dozens of pre-programmed playlists in many genres. I listen mostly to their Classical genre selections.
But note that these are all preprogrammed. Also CBC is no clear about their bitrate but it's not hi-rez, perhaps 250 kbps; very listenable for background music.

On my PC system which is simply a pair of AudioEngine speakers connected via USB to my computer listening the higher quality MP3 or lossless is or is about the same.

One of the reasons I wanted lossless streaming was when demoing music on free youTube or Spotify on my PC I could be tricked into buying some pretty crummy sounding records. There is a big difference even on my PC system between lower quality mp3 and lossless. Only since I went to Tidal have I been knowingly exposed to highest quality MP3 (320 kps).

Kind of off topic- searching for mp3 quality AI delivered up the following -

Audio quality
128 Kbps is considered CD quality, but it sacrifices audio quality. 256 Kbps offers better sound quality without taking up too much disk space.
File size
128 Kbps songs are around 3.5 MB, while lossless songs are around 30 MB

Confusing to me as I've always considered CD quality to be the same thing as lossless. As far as storing music in my music library it's all lossless or better.
- 128 kbps is certainly not CD quality - Feanor 04:21:56 01/03/25 (1)
  320 kbps is pretty good though, but only lossless is CD quality.
