How do you listen to your music? Speakers, headphones, do you like streaming services, do you have a collection of your own? Vinyl?
Personally I like vinyl if I'm listening on speakers, and my phone
Love vinyl, but for practicality I also have to say I'm really happy with my FLAC digital collection right now served through Plex. I've got a JBL sound system for my living room that plays all my audio whether music or video related.
But then I also listen to mp3 stuff using crappy Bluetooth ear buds when the volume needs to stay down, so I'm not exactly an audio snob either
Ive got a large collection of digital music. And a collection of vinyl records. But mostly i stream from my phone. I pay for no advertising in my streaming service.
I've bought a couple cheap amplifiers that i plugged into speakers so i can listen to music with good quality audio. Im no audiophile but having a dedicated sound system really ups my enjoyment of music
Spotify for the convenience. Scrobble everything to listenbrainz. Use listenbrainz and spotify to discover new stuff constantly. I mostly listen to music every second I'm awake if I can help it, primarily on headphones to not annoy others.
I used to use speakers, but they kind of crapped out. And limited space for the computer made it harder to have them around so I switched to headphones.
So I don't use any streaming services beyond my YouTube 'playlists' of songs that are all like 10 to 20 years old at this point. Used to use DI.fm, but they switched to a model that required a subscription to listen to the only channel I listened to which was extremely disappointing to me for a time. When it comes to physical media I love CDs and actually buy some occasionally. I know they're a 'dying media type', same with all physical media, and it makes me so sad/mad because I much prefer to have a physical copy of something I enjoy. While I don't use my CDs much they are my go to way of getting music when I am in my car.
I use YouTube music, as I have a YouTube premium subscription, with a headset and a dac/amp on high volume.
I use loop earplugs for sound sensitivities, so I don't hear anything outside of my headset by default, which in turn means I have to have the volume even higher which makes the bass feel really hard.
Same with YT Music. I have a desire to de-google, but I haven't made it priority. If I focus solely on my user experience, it's pretty good. They have everything I would ever want to listen to. However, I do want to stop supporting companies whose business practices don't match my values.
