    I'm not trying to be hipster, I swear!

    So, how do you listen to your music? Do you use CDs, iPods/Other brand mp3 players, cassette players, a stereo system, or what?

    Do you use websites to listen to music when you are on the computer, or do you listen to a personal library of songs on your hard drive?

    How about when doing chores? Do you vacuum while using an iPod, or garden to the sound of a Walkman?

    And when driving, do you use a CD player, or one of those mp3 player connectors, or do you use the radio?

    Personally, when I am on the computer, I use Youtube or this site that lets me listen to one of my local radio stations. Otherwise, if not those, I might use my own library, but that typically is only if I am on my computer, but don't have internet. Oh, and when I use Youtube, I typically use Youtube Repeat so I don't have to manually click repeat. ^__^

    When doing chores, I use my mp3 player, and either listen to my library on there, or use it to listen to the radio.

    And when I drive places, it depends on the vehicle I am using. When driving the car, I use the radio as the car doesn't have a CD player and the cassette player is broken. In the truck, the radio is broken, so I have to use the CD player. And if I was allowed to by my parents, I would use a tape cassette/mp3 converter thing that plays my mp3 player through the cassette player in the vehicle. It's awesome. XD

    So how do you jam?
     
    I listen to music from Youtube. If I'm away in the car I usually listen to music from my cellphone (sometimes my PSP) or the radio.

    When I do chores which I rarely do now I don't listen to music.
     
    I listen to music on Youtube and my Android mostly. Sometimes I listen to music on iTunes, but that's pretty rare.
     
    I use iTunes pretty much exclusively. I'm normally not an Apple fan and I'm sure it's not the most efficient way to do things, but I like the play counts and the rating system so I stick with it. Usually when I clean I turn on iTunes and blast it...but only when I'm alone because I have this thing against listening to music where other people can hear.

    In the car though, I listen to the radio. xD I don't have an up-to-date mp3 player so I just make do.
     
    I've gotten into the habit of using Google Music and sticking everything I have on shuffle when I'm using the computer, although I used to use Pandora more. When I'm traveling, it's usually whatever the driver has on or my mp3 player. :> I like pretty much anything so I don't mind listening to music that is not mine.
     
    Usually I find my music through iTunes, and as such use download it to my iPod, which I take generally everywhere I go. But when I'm just sitting and browsing, I tend to rely on Youtube for music.
     
    iPod and iTunes for everything. I like things to scrobble on my last.fm (I don't know why I'm so obsessed with it though), but I'm also really OCD with my iTunes/Pod. If I like a song, it has to be on there, or I feel incomplete. In the car, I have an iTrip and I cannot stand the radio. But I also don't have a CD player, so yeah. What other options do I have? My music is better than radio crap anyway.

    I sound like an Apple fanboy. I'm really not, I just like using iTunes for everything.
     
    I have an iPod touch that i use to listen to music and get some apps on. I usually listen to music on YouTube and iTunes when Im on the computer though. The iPod is good for when Im on the road.
     
    I never understood why people would listen to music exclusively through visiting websites. I just can't comprehend it. Why would you depend on a website to listen to a song when you can download it and listen to it whenever you want?

    I listen to music through my iTunes library and through CDs I buy or burn so that I can listen to them while I'm driving. When I don't have a CD available for something, I bring my iPhone with me. Our old car had a nice stereo system that had it so that we could plug my phone or an iPod in to it and listen to music through our car speakers, but this one doesn't, so I'm pretty much destroying my phone speakers when I'm listening to music on my iPhone in the car!

    Also, I want to add that I hate listening to the radio.
     
    I really don't like streaming because it's so inconvenient. I use YouTube often though just for a taster before I download something because they have so much stuff on there and you don't have to register or any of that crap. I like to have everything easily accessible (and in good quality!!"2)

    I have an old Phillips mp3 player which I've had for years and has always done fine by me so I see no need to replace it, and a Pioneer turntable (GRAMOPHONE?) & preamp which I love, along with 4 large speakers that I can't be bothered to get the spec of. And that's about all I use to listen to music.
     
    ~ I use a MP3 player when I am in freetime, I use the radio MORE then I do the CD player when I drive my car. And I watch music videos or listen to Winamp when I am on my laptop/PC.

    Use my IPod, IPhone and IPad as well.

    Depends where I am. At home I use my iPod to listen to music on Pandora. If I'm somewhere where I can't get Wi-Fi, like at school or in the car, then I'll listen to my cassette player. It also has a radio built into it, but I hate the radio so I never use it.

    I rarely use my CD player, or my iPod when I can't listen to Pandora, because I can't afford new CDs/songs on iTunes. And we don't have any good CDs, they're all my mother's and we don't share the same taste in music.
    But the cassettes we have are good, they were my uncle's. He had a couple of those huge plastic bins full of them, and they're all classic rock.
     
    I'm not a huge music listener, so I basically just listen to whatever is on the radio when I'm driving, or if I'm in a mood to actively listen to music I will listen to it here at my laptop. I have an iPhone, but I haven't as yet bothered to put my iTunes onto it lol.
     
    I used to use an mp3 player called a Zen, but the harddrive started to make clicking sounds and the tags of my music kept getting messed up when I put it on there and that made it hard to find some songs sometimes. It still works, but I decided to upgrade with an ipod and since you kind of have to have itunes to use that now I just use the ipod/itunes combo and that's all really. I will use youtube to sample sometimes, but I don't get why someone would use it as their primary music source.
     
    I use my Ipod Shuffle to listen to music, when I'm on the computer I use my library in Itunes, I hardly do listen to music, I only do when I'm training or having trouble falling asleep...
     
    Winamp on my laptop with a decent pair of earphones. Nothing fancy. I just bought myself an iPhone but I never use it as an iPod though. It's... awkward. I also hate iTunes; I don't like the entire layout of it.
     
    I pretty much always use iTunes. If I'm on my computer it's iTunes, if I'm not, it's through my iPhone...

    If I'm driving, it's either the radio, or CDs, only because there isn't a jack for me to use the iPhone / iPod, and I can't stand the noise you get using an iTrip...
