I hope no one has started a thread like this already... but how do you listen to your music? In your living room, in your car, through your smart phone, on LPs?
Well, about 4 or 5 years ago, I used to listen to my music a 5 disc carousel CD player through a 5.1 receiver amplifier in my living room, but the player broke and I then started listening to my CDs through my DVD player. Well, about 2 years ago, my amplifier went out and then I decided to finally burn my CD collection to my computer(well, better late than never, right? ) and listen to my music on my computer, which has decent speaks and a subwoofer, and which is my present situation.
However, I plan to eventually get a new fancy-wancy receiver amplifier with wifi, which can receive my ripped music trasmitted from my computer's media player.
My music is all in MP3 format. I use either my computer, phone, an iPod with a speaker set on my bicycle, or burn a 12-hour MP3 CD-ROM to play in my car.
At its largest, my collection contained 500 albums, 100 8 tracks, 175 cassette albums, 150 recorded and mix cassettes, 300 CD albums and about 60 mix and recorded CDs. Everything except for about 150 CDs is in the trash or was turned in at a used music shop.
At this point I've got about 90% of what I would like to have in digital format. I mostly listen in the car via radio or MP3s on CD and USB, Sirius in my wife's car, or on the computer at home. The last CD album I bought was Imagine Dragons probably in 2012 or 2013. I cant remember the last time I listened to a tape or record.

So, how do you listen to your music?
In my car, I prefer to listen to CDs because the bluetooth music isn't loud enough (and I'm really not one of those obnoxious people who blasts my music, but I do like it louder than the bluetooth will go).
At work, I listen to music on my smartphone.
At home, I listen to music on my computer or my smartphone if I'm not near the computer. I also watch YouTube music videos a lot on my TV, if that counts.
I am a music lover, so I listen to music every day!
When I was a teenager I used to sit in front of my Sony stereo, put my humongous over the ear headphones, grabbed my drumsticks and air drum for hours on end. That I believe led me to appreciate music so much, because I could hear all the bells and whistles. To this day I can still remember listening to Soundgarden “Spoonman”, or Alice in Chain’s “Would?” and my mind being blown like a nuclear bomb.
When I went to college, my mom bought me a used car, and I had a friend, who was really into hip hop and deep bass music, install a JVC stereo with a subwoofer, tweeters and all kinds of crazy stuff…funny, because by then I was really into post hardcore like At the drive in and Thursday, and the sound coming out of that system was just ridiculous!
Now that I am an adult, is a combination of Spotify on my smartphone, Cd’s on my car, and you tube videos…I love to have the whole experience, audibly and visually.
50's 60's and 70's:
Radio with stereo in 3 different rooms, all vehicles have a stereo and CD player, turntable, record collection saved on both cassettes and CD's, only one oldies station that we can listen to as far north as about 30 miles and it fades out. And there are TV channels that have oldies music.
You get the basic idea. Almost all the time and almost everywhere.

(I love analog so much)
