how do you listen to music?

90% on my phone, with midrange, wired, earbuds

10% on my record player at home. My wife and I have 2 "music nights" that we alternate back and forth between. The first is "record night" where we'll throw on some records, have a few glasses of wine and some snacks and chit chat. The second is "music video night" where we make a youtube playlist, largely of music videos old, genre and spanning genre, with the odd viral vid, funny cat vid, or late night show clip thrown in. This tends to be an 8hour affair with lots of beer.

Where do you listen?

At work, most of the time. During my commute, 2nd most likely, while working out (haven't done that in 8 months), while doing yard work if conducive to headphones, and at home.

What do you listen on?

headphones, or my home stereo.

What format?

I try to ensure my collection is 320 CBR Mp3, or vinyl. Occasionally it's whatever Amazon's Auto-rip quality is, a VBR, i think?

I don't stream - i find it too clunky. If i'm going to waste sdcard space caching something, i might as well just put the mp3s on there. Caching aside, i feel doing something counting against my bandwidth and using streaming as an ownership replacement is a step backwards. People fought to get rid of DRM, now we've given up ownership. Fuck that.

How often?

If i'm in the car alone? 99% of the time. Out of an 8hour work day? I'd say 5-6 hours a day. At home? It really depends on what's going on.

How do you discover new music?

Reddit, Youtube, Last.fm "similar artists", recommendation engines on Amazon, and i have a rather large "music" rss feed collection mixing various blogs and music publications online.
