Most preferred format for listening to music?

[xSuperMario64x]

If you had to decide on one, what format do you use most to listen to music?

For me, it's through an MP3 player. I use pretty much all the different ways, but I find myself using MP3s the most, even more than digital streaming services like Spotify. I'm curious about what others use because I saw a youtube thumbnail last night that claims that MP3 players and CDs are a dead format which is surprising to me, though I'm not surprised that it baffles me cause I seem to be stuck in the state of technology that was present in the years 1995-2005 lol

I'll upload a poll a few min after posting this :>

 

[Midoriya]

I usually listen to music through streaming.

 

[Psydye]

I guess it would be MP3 but now that I've got Spotify premium it's less MP3 and more Streaming. Also, despite that, I still buy CDs when I can to support the artists!

 

[John Wick]

CD's on a stereo.

 

[Licorice]

I buy albums on itunes and then listen to them on my phone. I never listen to individual songs and I'm really picky so I don't think streaming would be for me.

 

[Aquari]

I go to the local pub and use the jukebox


But seriously I use spotify and music i downloaded on my phone for the most part.

Ah, that brings back memories.

Walk in, order a beer, put 20 cents in the jukebox, and sit back and listen to Paranoid, Black Sabbath. (The only decent song on there all those years ago.)

 

[Stella-Io]

Now I use mostly streaming, but for the longest time I used CD's and my ipod.

 

[Mayor Monday]

I love simply using Spotify and a good pair of headphones.

But in super a close second, I love listening to my mom's old vinyl records.

That's a great song. One of my favorites from Black Sabbath.

I mostly listen to music through an MP3 player now. It's nice because it's easy to carry and use at work and it holds enough songs that I can keep most of my favorites on there. I don't like to use my phone because it's not a very good phone and I don't want to use up too much space on it. I almost always buy the CDs though and upload them to support the artists. The only time I download individual songs is when it's something I can't find or order easily, like some Japanese or anime music.

I do occasionally use YouTube to find new albums or artists. Also, I only listen to the radio when I'm in the car because I can't be bothered to plug anything in. I live in a small town, so I'm usually not in the car for more than 10-15 minutes at a time anyway.

 

[Corrie]

I prefer listening through YouTube or illegally downloading the YouTube MP3 to my iPod. I'm a bit older fashioned but that's okay.

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Spotify, for the win

If not, I just buy CDs then import them onto my phone or iPad, lol.​

 

[AlyssaAC]

MP3 player for me, but once in awhile I'll do CDs. I'm kinda old fashion like my dad, he does the same thing too. I never really tried other things, just those two.

 

[Nunnafinga]

I have two iPods and a Sansa Clip MP3 player and those three devices have just about all the music I want to listen to loaded onto them.I'm considering getting a fourth MP3 player just for classical music.I gotta have my Mozart and Tchaikovsky fix every once in a while.I also have a bunch of CDs I still listen to.

 

[John Wick]

That's a great song. One of my favorites from Black Sabbath.

Absofreakinglutely it's one of my favorites too!

[Snowesque]

YouTube and SoundCloud. I will have Twitch streams playing in the background too at times.
I am more likely to listen to people talking as opposed to music, so I do not have any services for it really.
Long ago I use to have an MP3 player with maybe 10 songs; really picky when it comes to music.
In the car I do not mind listening to some generally older stuff on the radio (70's-90's).

 

[Alienfish]

Vinyls, even though our player is broke :/ For good or bad I mostly use my mp3player or just youtube though, sometimes I play files on my computer but I wouldn't pay for Spotify or that stuff.

 

[dizzy bone]

When I'm at home listening to music, usually just youtube. I liked Spotify too but it's not available in my region. When I'm out and I want to listen to music, I have 1 playlist on my iphone with maybe 20 songs that I change periodically because my phone has no space anymore and my other mp3 player is broken :"D I've also purchased a lot of songs from apple music so I prefer being able to access itunes.

 

[Halloqueen]

I just track stuff down on YouTube to listen to in the background while doing other things. Used to be a cassette and CD person, but never made the jump to MP3 or streaming since it has long felt like getting a player would be an unnecessary purchase. Vinyls are pretty cool and I have stuff that could play them, but I've never really gotten into the habit before.

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

spotify or vinyl
