Not sure who "you" is in your answer. In this thread I'm exclusively
speaking about radio, i.e. the spoken word, while several others are
going on about music.
Music, specifically classic music is by definition old
anywhere like a deceased relative's record collection. Radio is valuable
for its currently relevant content and must be received now. That's
where differences in quality come in. Anyone can put on records.

In German, too. Radio or Hörfunk is both music and talk radio. Maybe
it's different for him locally, or maybe he invented his own meaning.
Also, it is known to happen that German people, too, get their music

We need a better description than 'talk radio': there is far too much
crap and assorted political raving around to lump it all together under
that the same heading as Radio 4 or WOR.
At least when one of the political ravers is called a 'shock jock' you
know what to expect.

Same here of course. But this thread began with the topic of quality at
the top. Of course most stations and all the local ones offer little
more than a sound background fpr the advertisements. But BBC, especially Radio 4 and to a far lesser degree some German programs are different.

I wonder whether anyone has considered running studios a couple of seconds early (so when they play the pips at 12:00:00 it's actually 11:59:58) and delaying FM by the same amount that DAB is inherently delayed, to keep them in sync ;-)
For a station that only plays recorded music and doesn't have any second-accurate timechecks, they don't even need to run the studio early.
Or do different radios have different amounts of buffering of the received data before playing it as an analogue feed to the speaker?

What is the point when both VHF FM and DAB have the time transmitted all
the time and displayed on the radio. I would think both of these are
quite accurate enough for most people most of the time.
Anyone needing precision time is going to be using something else.

It might be feasible to do something like rate-adaptive buffering - for example start the stream at a low resolution while you're buffering in the background, and then upgrade the resolution when there's enough buffered. I don't know if anyone does that already.
If one needs accurate time on an R-Pi, either a network connection to
NTP servers, a battery-backed RTC module (though those do tend to lose a
bit of time and need to be resynced to another time source at periods), or
a GPS time source.

My Pi's are connected to my LAN, so they get the benefit of NTP resyncs
every so often. The problem comes when a Pi reboots and then can't see
the LAN for a while - eg because everything has come back after a power
cut and the router is taking ages to connect to the internet. In that
case, the Pi can be running for a significant period of time with a slightly-wrong time.

It may not be installed if you've had your RPI for some time and have
done in-situ upgrades as successive Raspbian versions have been released.
I have an early Pi 2B (the 512MB version) successively upgraded from
Wheezy to Buster. It does not have the timedatectl service installed.

That's because of the switch to systemd. An ntp (-like?) service is still installed. Its interface is "timedatectl" which gives a status overview.
See man timedatectl.
It seems to sync often enough by itself that my Pi4 (without an rtc) which
is always on and which I don't monitor is accurate to within about a second compared manually to this iOS device from which I just logged in. So, I
don't think it's a good idea to install the ntp service on top of that; not without first disabling this new stuff.

A "sudo apt-get install ntp" fixes the lack of NTP on all my RPi cards. No problems at all even with the latest OS. Personally I prefer to trust the reference NTP version rather than some other version, and it has the advantage
that I can manage it in the same way as NTP on Windows and other Linux systems.
Here I see accuracies well under a millisecond even when syncing over Wi-Fi - e.g. a Raspberry Pi 400:
https://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/raspi24_ntp-b.html
and when you activate the GPS/PPS option, well under 10 microseconds even with
a Raspberry Pi 1B:

The antenna is a mag mount puck, indoors, on top of some mains trunking. Something like that can be your stratum-1 source so many local clients.

sub-second accuracy makes the comparison much more certain. I appreciate that

There seem to be a number of people who are strongly against it, but it's not been an issue here.
For scheduled stuff I simply use "crontab -e" (IIRC) and it seems to work, but
that's for boot-time and daily tasks. No customisation file required - as far
as I know.

when ntpd was detected? That seems sane/logical, anyway. No need to have
two time sync daemons running simultaneously.
Er, my "about a second" was from me simply glancing at two devices. I'm
sure the actual accuracy is the same as for reference ntp, because it runs this:https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-timesyncd

Internet radio lags behind FM by a few seconds. Switching from FM on the >>> last Pip of the time signal I catch the last couple of pips from the
net.
I wonder whether anyone has considered running studios a couple of
seconds early (so when they play the pips at 12:00:00 it's actually
11:59:58) and delaying FM by the same amount that DAB is inherently
delayed, to keep them in sync ;-)
For a station that only plays recorded music and doesn't have any second-accurate timechecks, they don't even need to run the studio early.
Or do different radios have different amounts of buffering of the
received data before playing it as an analogue feed to the speaker?
