How/where do you listen to music??

[NORTHCOAST]

Curious as to how/where everyone listens to music.  Everyone on this board is pretty much "into" music in a big way.  How do you actually listen?

I love popping in a new CD and lying down on my couch with the liner notes to read along with the lyrics.  That's why I HATE when the lyrics aren't printed out.  I also love listening in my car, which I seem to do more now than at home.  Maybe just because it is Summer and I don't spend too much time inside right now. I have also just gotten a computer at home so I've been loading all my CDs onto it to play them in shuffle mode.  I get some pretty wild combinations of songs that way.  Plus, I have a great library with an awesome CD collection.  I get five or six CDs every three weeks and give each one at least three to four good listens before I have to return them, which is really hard to do.  I want to go out and buy most of them.  Usually I try to hunt them down at resale shops.  (And no, I don't copy them onto my computer, just a stickler for buying music I want, though I've been tempted!)

Considering my car is fubar at the moment, I normally listen to cds when I'm on the bus on my discman, when I'm riding my bike, sometimes I use winamp, sometimes I use my stereo.

I usually listen to the radio at work. Its on pretty much all day. Thats how I hear most new songs.

Sometimes, I'll log on to All Access to check out new songs on the charts that local radio stations don't play. Especially country songs, and other songs that people talk about on the board.

In the car, I usually prefer CD's. Also I usually listen to CD's when I'm on the computer. Rarely do I just listen, unless its a new CD.

Also, I'll watch MTV Hits, CMT VH1 Hits and VH1 Classic when I'm in the mood.

Me too. I always read along with the lyrics for at least the first 2 times I listen to an album, so I don't somehow get the wrong words stuck in my head. After that, I mainly listen to CDs on the subway and the radio at work. I'll also stream songs I'm interested in from AOL or allaccess links posted here.

This message board is where I hear the new music first. Also radio stations that stream on the internet. (I always use the backdoor links for those)
And of course local radio stations listed on my website.

75% of the music I listen to is in my discman while walking to wherever I'm going. I also have my computer playing often at home where I load songs from my CDs onto it.

I listen to the vast majority of music in my car, but then I get some pretty good time at work too. I bring my CDs in and play them while I work in the lab. I'm the only one in the lab, so why not?

The last place I worked there were 3 of us and we were ALL into music a lot, I actually heard a lot more then. They got probably 75% of their music collections from me and we listened to between 7-12 CDs every day.
