How do you usually listen to music?

I'm in a digital radio dead spot, I was so happy when the Echo devices came out. I listen to Magic Classical and Boom radio on Alexa in my kitchen.

Mostly on the computer, I have a very good Mac Sound-wise. And as I need to rest a lot my computer comes into the bedroom with me!

U tube caters for my very eclectic tastes, I am considering paying them for ad-free access but haven't found out how much it costs.

Especially as I can get U tube on the TV - if this also can be ad-free a good investment?

I find Classic FM too many ads and the choice of "music to meet a mood" doesnt work out with their style.

Its a treat to find rarely on BBC 4 live orchestra like last Sunday from Vienna but I came upon it accidentally.

Taking delivery today of an Echo Dot - watch this space!

I was given an Echo Dot for Christmas after my faithful old kitchen radio gave up the ghost. I love it and thought I was being really clever when I paired it with my Soundcore speaker. They started arguing with eachother! I’d turn off one and the other would start playing. It even picked up my neighbour’s door bell. 😂

My own door bell is on the blink so watch this space!

Oh and live concerts etc.

Oh and television!

Very few people know about Radio Swiss Classic on line. Wonderful, often not-well-known pieces of music. Free to listen to through your computer. Instructions in English, but very short in-between commentary in German. Couldn't be without it. So soothing.

Radio and Alexa.

EarPods and phone

Mainly on Alexa, my Echo speaker is on the hatch between kitchen and sitting room, in the middle of the house. Boom radio until 2pm, then BBC 3 Counties either at home or in the car. Later, Jo Whiley on Radio 2, and when I settle on the sofa it’s my Spotify playlist of “saved” Shazam tracks.

I do still have a turntable to play beloved old LPs annd singles occasionally, scratches and all adding to the nostalgia. I’ve never been as fiercely attached to CDs, but still have loads of home-recorded compilation cassettes from the late 1970s/1980s, they’re like a journal of the time.

Can anyone recommend wireless headphones that stay in place? I tried on my DD’s AirPods and they felt very insecure, they’re too expensive to risk losing one.

Classic FM on my radio or free Spotify albums on my phone .

Radio in the car

Radio always on 1/2 , ear buds and my phone playlist.
Watch a lot of concerts on TV and looking forward to Glastonbury.

All manner of different ways.
CDs and the occasional vinyl through the hi-fi in the lounge. Tony Blackburn’s Sounds Of The Sixties, Apple music and playlists I’ve created are through my Sonos roam speaker that I cart around the house with me.
Radio Berkshire or Greatest Hits Radio on a little radio in my little dressing room when I get ready in the morning.
Playlists or radio in the car.
Last but not least, live gigs as often as possible.
I ❤️ music!

I've been a bit off music lately but, probably with the festival season starting up I put Radio 6 on the other day and didn't really like the sort of things they were playing;[ I tune into it via the tv]. It was Craig Charles in the afternoon. So I thought I'll tune in again when Tom Ravenscroft was back on, only to find he'd left. I listen to the Folk on Foot podcast religiously because, no matter what music I'm liking at the time I always go back to folk music. I listen to that on my ipad. My main source of music is probably utube, especially if I've discovered a new band. I've still got all of my cd's but tend not to play them as my current dog doesn't like loud noises. I used to love playing music in the car but don't drive much these days.

Classic fm on the radio mostly, though if I’m learning new music I find it on YouTube, or Spotify list.
I have lots of CDs but rarely play any. Also vinyl but trying to decide whether to get rid or keep, but if so, I need to buy something to play them on as I got rid of DH’s hi-fi set up.

Alexa in the kitchen, whatever I fancy, often Radio 2, earbuds, iPhone and what I fancy when I’m walking - could be Gardeners Question Time, a podcast or Radio 4.

Radio 3, when it’s not playing weird stuff with zero melody, and Classic FM. We have quite a few CDs but TBH rarely play them.
In the car we often have dh’s playlist on, which includes all sorts, from Charles Trenet’s ‘La Mer’ and songs from old musicals (the Gdcs love several from South Pacific!) down to a niece’s beautiful soprano solo of Panis Angelicus.

Alexa

On YouTube music, through headphones (just bought fancy Bluetooth ones)

I listen to my Spotify Playlists on the Alexa in whichever room I happen to be or the radio also on Alexa.

Old fashioned way. Radio on the kitchen windowsill or carried around as I work and on the car radio. Radio 3, Radio 4 or Classic FM, in that order.

In a concert hall when possible. Music is best live. I sometimes listen to Radio 3.

I either listen to Radio 3 on my phone played through a speaker, or I download stuff from Apple Music onto my phone. I have a large collection of CDs - all genres - but rarely play them these days.
And what Septimia said😁!

CD's and vinyl when I'm on my own and Spotify with Mr. S. and usually loudly.
