    Okay so maybe some of us have iPods as well or just listen to music on our phones these days..

    But do you guys listen to music on the go? What do you listen to music on these days, whether it'd be your phone, an iPod, or a regular MP3 player? When do you usually listen to music on the go?
     
    MP3 players were so popular when I was in elementary school and that was around 10 years ago XD I had quite a few of them back then, but dumped them all when I started investing in iPods. Before getting my iPhone, I would use several different iPods; we currently have 2 or 3 from the Nano series, 2 from the Shuffle, and an iTouch. Yeah, I hoarded those things back then...but now I only need my iPhone :D
     
    I had an iPod that I brought with me everywhere, but it officially died 3 months ago (RIP 2010-2013). For now my phone has sufficed until I get a new one. It doesn't have nearly as much space as an iPod, but it's good enough to have a bit of music on the go. My iPod had my entire music library on it though, which was really handy. Looking forward to getting a new one.
     
    I started off with a CD player then moved to a billion kinds of MP3 then ipod was 'in' and replaced MP3s and got myself the Ipod Nano whicheveridontremember gen. Then when I finally switched my phone to a smartphone, I started listening to music on it :)

    I always listen to music when I'm on the go. If it's by bus or train, then I'd listen from my phone. I don't have any music actually downloaded, though; I would just stream from either YouTube or Spotify, haha. If I'm travelling by car, then I'd listen to whatever they have playing on radio.
     
    When I first started listening to music outside my home I had an old cassette player (still have still works but no cassettes to listen too, I may send to Goodwill) - then switched it for CD player (gave to Goodwill) - then I had a small mp3 player (which I lost) - and now my Cell Phone plays music.
     
    I still use my second generation I-pod. I don't remember how long I've had this thing, but it still works, so why replace it?

    I listen to music whenever I can. I'm a bit obsessed with it, and if I can't listen to music, I start to panic a little.
     
    I had a CD player until I was an adult. I had my own car before I had my own MP3 player. I was given an iPod once but I lost it on an international flight.
     
    I bought a refurbished 8GB iPod Nano back in 2008. Still works fine to this day. It's a bit scratched up and the battery isn't quite as good, but it still works fine otherwise. I don't have a smartphone, and I don't have means of getting music onto my dumbphone, so it's my only choice for listening to music on the go.

    I listen to it on a pretty much daily basis. I don't own a car, so if I want to go anywhere on my own, I have to walk. I'll put my headphones on and gogogo!

    The mp3 player I had before that was 256mb. If you had an SD card, it could support 512mb! It could hold anywhere from 45-55 songs, depending on the size of the files I had at the time. Better than a CD, at least. It was like $40-$50 or so when I bought it, and that was 2006-2007. Pretty sure there were far better out there at the time, but you get what you pay for. :p

    Here's a pic of my two mp3 players.
     
    Back in the day I would use my Sony Walkman which I still have, but then I upgraded to an iPod Classic, and finally to an iPod Touch. Everyone seems to be obsessed with having everything on a single device, but I personally don't. I like having an iPod Touch for music, video, and games, and in the other hand a basic slider phone. The reason I didn't just get an Android smartphone is because I've always purchased the full versions of apps since I got my first iTouch several years ago so they are forever on my account as long as the apps exist, not to mention all of the in-app purchases. I'm not about to spend a bunch of money on the same apps on an Android phone, so why buy one? I could use the internet, but then again that's not a major concern for me, and it also brings me to my next point. When I'm at home with Wi-Fi I use my iTouch's internet, but when I'm on the go I can just focus on listening to music or playing a game. If I get to the point where my battery runs low no worries. I'll still have a cellphone that I mainly use for texting, that usually still has close to a full battery by the end of the day because I'm not using the internet or playing games on it. 2 devices is great for me.
     
    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation that I used for a long time up until I got my new phone last year. Then I decided I didn't want to juggle two devices when I went anywhere and just put everything on my phone. Even though I don't like Android's clunky music management, it's more convenient to deal with that than have to bring my iPod with me everywhere.
     
    I no longer own the 60 GB iPod that I used to have.

    *blames smartphones*
     
    I still regularly use my iPod 5.5G. 80GB of storage!

    I like to carry my whole library with me. Can't do that with my phone. And I hate any audio players I've come across on Android. iPod does it better.

    I would buy an iPod Classic over a Touch.
     
    I always thought and ipod was a mp3 player myself. I just use my iphone for most everything. Tech has come so far
     
    Hmm, let's see.. I'm able to put music on both my Nexus 7 and my Lumia 520, but I haven't done so yet. I have three iPods. I have a 32GB iPod Touch 4G, which is my main iPod when I'm on-the-go listening to my music library. Then I have my 8GB iPod Nano 4th generation, which just only plays select songs from my library and I keep it docked on my iHome radio at all times. Finally, I have a 1GB iPod Shuffle 2nd generation, and I don't really use that anymore, but I still have it around in case I want to put a few good songs to listen to and need more space for my pockets :p
     
    I find them pretty useless. Why buy a device to store and play music when your phone can do the same? It's not like the sound quality is any better on portable music players.
