How do you listen to music?

Is it Vinyl? Cassettes? CDs? Mp3? Streaming like Spotify and Pandora?
I use a mixture of all, mostly mp3 from beatport and 7 digital, some cassettes, a few vinyls and a bunch of CDs, I use Pandora too to find new tunes.

No, my collection was about rock/metal mainly.
Now i dont listen to the same stuff.
I have downloaded many pieces of classical music by YouTube or torrents.
I have a good collection now, but different musical styles.
Now i wanna buy some albums very dear to me in LP form.

I use apple music on my laptop and iPhone

Really great service

We have a family subscription split between three people and we all pay £5 a month each, and have a spare subscription to give to whoever each

My headphones at work are Beats Flex, and at home I use some old bluetooth Sony overear headphones as I live in a flat and like loud music :slight_smile:

I currently just go on the radio or listen on YouTube.

I bought an mp3 player a while back but now all mp3 download sites are taken down.

And I guess it’s illegal so I wouldn’t anyways :roll_eyes:

But now I don’t know what to do.

Might have to get Spotify if I feel like it in the future.

Streaming 100% on Spotify. Its cheaper and more convenient. And means I can try anything I want and not worry about getting burned and not liking purchases.

I still have CD’s from my teenage years and early twenties, but I only buy albums of my absolute favourite bands now (very limited number of artists). And even then I hardly use the CD’s, I just do it to support them.

vinyl on amazon is not that expensive i think. Like 25 euro max for a record. I think that is an ok price.

There are legal mp3 sites, like beatport for electronic, 7 digital and Bandcamp for almost everything else, sometimes they have deals too.

But consider that I spend £10 and can listen to any music I wish endlessly for a whole month! Not just one album.

yea true… it’s cheaper like that. I usually check out music on youtube and when i like the album on youtube then i buy it on vinyl.
