Dear friends, thanks a lot for your responses.No WBFM music yet. Just to
share; I followed these steps which fail:
0. Flash and setup with RaspberryPi4 the 32GbSD Card from Raspberry Pi
image file: "2020-02-13-raspbian-buster.img"
1. run "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and replace "buster" by "testing"
2. run "sudo apt update"
3. run "sudo apt full-upgrade"
4. run "sudo reboot"
5. run "sudo apt install gnuradio"
6. run "sudo reboot"
7. Validate is GUI:Start>Programming>GNU Radio Companion>Help>About shows
"3.8.1.0(Python3.7.6)"
7. Loading a hello-world FMWB example showed Missing Block "rtlsdr_source"
so end GNU Radio Companion (I have a RTL-SDR stick)
8. run "sudo apt-get install gr-osmosdr"
9. run "sudo apt-get install xterm"
10. sudo reboot
11. run "sudo apt autoremove"
12. Loading the FMWB example again I noticed that there were no Missing
Blocks anymore and that "rtlsdr_source" could be used.
13. Generating flow seemed to be going okay.
14. Executing flow generated the failure:
<<< Welcome to GNU Radio Companion 3.8.1.0 >>>
...Warning: failed to XInitThreads()

I continue with the suggested SDRPlay asap and share the results!
No matter how, but the music will Sound!
