What music options are there on a NIPR in 2021?

Now that YouTube is blocked, Spotify doesn't work, Amazon Music is a no-go. The only one I have found so far is iHeartRadio.

I work in a room where phones / bluetooth stuff isn't allowed so NIPR is the only option. Any suggestions would be appreciated. And before you ask, I like to have music in the shop while we work. Helps the day go by faster.

YouTube may be blocked, but YouTube Music is not. At least not where I'm at.

I just watch TV. I have sling and I can watch TV on my computer. It's great.

You could just bring an actual radio into the office, like the olden days.
Or just load about 5-10 DVDs of music onto your NIPR machine.

How about a transistor radio, or an old cassette tape player.

It varies by your NEC. One place I was at blocked all streaming music but not YouTube. Another blocked YouTube but not SoundCloud. Most radio stations offer a streaming version that isn't usually blocked. I just stream it off my phone these days, it doesn't use a lot of data
