Title: How do you listen to music?
Post by: Spiritinthesky on February 13, 2011, 10:48:16 PM: How do you listen to music?

MP3 player, iPhone, Radio?

This Day in Music is running a poll to find out how you listen to your music.

If you fancy having a vote http://tinyurl.com/tdimpoll

Oh, and just about every type of player around, from iPod to hi-fi. Having done some amateur recording I've found the humble modern car stereo is a good test for mixing levels, bass booms etc. It's amazing how hard it is to tweak levels, and then you try a song on another player and it's completely different.

Post by: knopfling on February 14, 2011, 08:40:10 PM: I listen mostly on an iPod and on a CD in my car.
Less often, I use the computer or home system.

Post by: Hoops McCann on February 15, 2011, 03:21:12 AM: Interesting question. These days I spend a little over 2 hours on the train everyday, so when I do listen to music, it's usually via a portable device. I use an iAudio 7 as a FLAC player with Sennheiser ie8 IEMs. I also have some other cool portable stuff like my beloved Rockboxed iRiver H120 and a Sony RH1 Hi-MD (this thing has an amazing preamp in it!), as well as some other headphones.

But that's about it. I don't have a big fancy hi-fi setup and the only other place I really listen to music from is my computer, where I've been using the same Logitech speakers/sub for the past five years.

Post by: localhero1986 on February 15, 2011, 11:49:10 AM: I use different players, at home mostly winamp on my computer (especially for FLAC files), Mp3 CD in my car, iPod when walking around alone, and sometimes my iPad while travelling by train. :)

Nothing advanced or fancy. Basic stuff.

Post by: Rollergirl on February 23, 2011, 10:41:46 PM: quite reassuring to see that hifi is still up there at the top (even if this poll is obviously not representative of anything)
