slo’s TUESDAY 3/28 poll - Your Music

[Dan Murphy]

I don't listen to my phone very often for music. But I do have both Amazon and Sirius/XM subscriptions. If not listening to talk radio (WGN) or news (CNN) in the car, I listen to S/XM. At home, mostly WGN on the radio.

99 % of the music on my phone is ripped from my cds or albums. Now that I'm retired, I've been slowly converting all my vinyl to digital and organizing on my laptop. I don't use any streaming service, tried Sirius for a bit but prefer listening to albums beginning to end.

 

[mamamary]

I listen to music usually only when I'm driving which means I listen to either Sirius or local stations. At home I'll pull up a song or two on Youtube if I want to listen to something.

I sorta do this also.

 

[soccerdad72]

On my phone - either Amazon Music or Pandora (free).

In the car - Sirius XM, mostly.

 

[Praying Colonel]

I listen to my own library at work but stream Pandora at home. DW and I tend to like different types of music so we have some Pandora stations that are kind of the Venn diagram intersect of our music likes.

This is how I prefer to listen as well. My limited experience with streaming they don’t play the album in proper order and/or for whatever reason they don’t have rights to a particular song (how do you offer up the Born to Run album but don’t have the actual title song available?!) and as mentioned above will toss stuff in that I didn’t choose to listen to. The experience of listening to an album start to finish doesn’t seem to exist on these services.

That said, for my kids streaming has led them to discover quite a bit of music they probably wouldn’t have. My 17yo DS will have Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, BB King and European Death Metal all in the same playlist. His twin sister has become an 80s/90s metal head. Neither would have discovered that with their old mom playing the same albums over and over. (I was a metal head back in the day but I can’t listen to it in traffic )

 

[RedAngie]

I rarely listen to music via my phone. I have the SiriusXM app, but I mostly listen to it in my car.

While posting in the song threads here I’ll listen on Youtube.

 

[Micca]

I mostly listen to podcasts on my phone, but I'm a music junkie and listen off & on all day. My main source is my laptop with headphones, I have my favorite cds ripped to iTunes, and I also have an Amazon Music sub. I have a large physical media collection but I'm usually too lazy to bother with it.

 

[footballmouse]

When I'm working in the yard I listen to Pandora. When I'm at work during the week, I listen to the local country station B105.

 

[PSUPreston]

On my phone, either Amazon Music, iHeart80s radio, or local station Q102.

I find the Amazon Music "All 80's" to be very good as well!! I listen to both. It is my Friday music selection each week at work!!

I have music I purchased on Itunes, but I typically get more use out of Youtube.

Itunes also has this annoying trend where certain songs can only be purchased if you buy the whole album, yet other songs on that same album are for sale. Funk dat!

YouTube also lets me discover new music too. I have a youtube subscription, so no ads, and I can download for off-line use.

Never listen to music on my cell phone. I have Sirius XM included with my Dish subscription on a TV with a nice sound bar. My wife's car has a factory radio with Sirius XM built in. I have a Sirius XM receiver that plugs right into my car stereo, and I have a nice speaker set up in my 1965 Mustang that it plugs into so I can moved it between the two cars. Also bought the boom box that the receiver snaps right into if I want to listen while working in the yard. No need to listen to music on a little cell phone speaker.

 

[E&Cmom]

Spotify

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I don't really listen to music on my phone, although I have a lot of songs on there. I'm usually to be found on my desktop or in the car. At home I listen to iHeart Radio on the computer, usually the Alternative Rewind, 70's or 60s stations. In the car I'm never the driver so I listen to whatever the driver chooses.

 

[PollyannaMom]

If I'm listening on my phone, usually Spotify.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

I don't listen to music on my phone just on the computer a part of Sunday online worship service. I also get CD's from the library. Dad enjoys daily listening to classical music either via You Tube on the computer or on a CD he got most likely on Amazon. Good question, SloHappy tunes to all

 

[mumto3girls]

Apple Music mostly. We have a family plan.

 

[CynBeth]

I don’t listen to music on the phone just the radio in the car.

 

[disneychrista]

I download music. I need to be able to listen to much offline. I have never used a streaming service, so maybe it is possible to listen to offline as well.
