Methods of music consumption

[jenglisbe]

I'm interested to see what ways people consume music on a somewhat consistent (at least a few times a month) basis?

For the paid downloads one, I don't necessarily mean downloading music consistently, but you might use your phone to listen to music you've downloaded in the past.

I mostly listen to music on YouTube.

[Private Dancer]

I use YouTube music

[marcyiam]

Mostly Amazon Music and YouTube. Regular radio more when I actually drove into an office.

Spotify for the most part. YouTube when I seek out a video but I don't do that nearly as often.

[Au$tin]

Spotify and on the rare occasion terrestrial radio. I only use YouTube to watch a new music video like once in a blue moon. Seriously, I don't even remember the last music video I sought out. It... might actually be when Billie dropped the video for "all the good girls go to hell" two years ago omg. Haven't downloaded anything since I made the switch from iTunes to Spotify in August 2018. Satellite radio was never something I invested in. It was cool when I was a kid, but my parents weren't going to pay for that. My only exposure to it was when XM (and eventually Sirius) were available on DirecTV. (RIP to my days following XM's 20 on 20 religiously.) By the time I was old enough to own a car, satellite radio was already on its way out and would have been a horrible investment given I would have rather just plugged my phone in through the AUX cord.

All of them except for iTunes. I switched to Spotify in 2016 and still listen to the radio in the car with a mix of using the AUX sometimes as well.

I still buy physical music, lol. I'm old, HALP. I have everything backed-up in the cloud and just stream it from there if I'm in the car or listening on my computer.

I listen to the YouTube videos when I'm at home and the radio when I'm in the car.

[Joe1240]

I use Spotify and still download music from iTunes,always great to have albums for offline use.

[Fire]

youtube mostly, then spotify slightly less but still a lot, then the radio when i'm in the car

[Wolfy]

YouTube Music mostly.

[degen]

Apple Music, and some FM radio in the car. YouTube for when there’s a new music video or I’m having a house party and put it on the TV.

[myhouse911]

Youtube at home, and FM radio when driving to and from work.
I've never used Spotify, Apple Music, etc. I haven't purchased anything from Itunes since probably 2017 (reputation), and no longer have it installed on my laptop/phone to listen to my previous purchases.

[MyLastView]

I use almost exclusively Spotify, and normal radio when I’m in the car (if I’m not listening to NPR lol). Only time I use YouTube is for unreleased/leaked songs and (rarely) music videos.

I have a big iTunes library I built up over the years (with a lot of material not available on streaming) so I mostly listen to that. For new music, I mostly use YouTube.

Same.

That's all one reason I am still not fully sold on streaming. I still have iTunes and it's how I put music on my phone. I still have all of the music I downloaded for 15+ years, and I can organize it however I want without fear of music disappearing.

This has been my playlist since 2013, the songs I'm into at the moment at the top, the further you scroll the farther back in time you go. Outside of this I listen to typical FM radio anytime I'm in the car & I listen to TTH on Spotify sometimes to stay up to date. I also use a website/community called Submithub to find new music from small artists.

[thirddegree50123]

Mostly Amazon Music and Youtube. I still put the radio on sometimes when I'm in the car but I get extremely frustrated with it quickly. Same songs over and over....even the flashback tracks

[rainie]
