How do you listen to music?

[OverthinkingOlive]

I literally just type songs into YouTube or switch on the radio at home. But if I'm on a plane or in the car, it's no good so I don't bother.

I'm literally a dinosaur and would still use a walkman if I had my tapes. I don't know anything about Spotify etc or iTunes if that's still a thing.

How do you listen to music whilst out and about... and how much does it cost?!

Through Amazon music

Radio, BBC Sounds, phone MP3s, CDs, even, occasionally cassettes.

If I'm in the mood for a complete album, playing a CD wins still. There's a little bit of tactile ceremony to it.

I'm 66 and I pay for Spotify premium and the whole family use it.
I could probably use Prime music but it's not quite as good.
I've long since got rid of CDs and downloads but I did give DS2 my vinyls

Spotify premium family account, £19.99 a month but 6 of us use it multiple times a day.

If I'm in the car it's the radio
In the house or out in the garden Spotify

Amazon music family package. Around £20 a month but 4 out of 5 of us use it daily.

Apple Music on my phone

Spotify all the way.

We're Spotify users and use it pretty much constantly. I had over 200k listening minutes last year.

I pay £14.99 for the Duo plan which allows us to download playlists so we can listen offline

Apple Music £10.99 a month for all the music I could ever want on my phone, iPad and laptop. I can download it too for the underground.

I generally have earphones in whilst out and about on my own/travelling, phone connected to the car so listen to what I want in there too. Will connect to a speaker/TV at home if we're in the mood for a dance party. Listen with chunky over ear headphones whilst working. Definitely feel like I get my moneys worth 😂

Mp3s on my phone with earphones

You can download YouTube as mp3s on some sites. So I have a load of songs.

I used to have a dedicated MP3 player. That might be an option OP.
If you have a pc with a cd player, pop your CDs in, copy them to your MP3 player, done.

Radio or CD mostly, occasionally YouTube or vinyl.

Just realised you might not know how to use Spotify.
Download the app.
I think you can listen free with ads but I pay.
You can make playlists or just listen to an artist.
Literally anything you like.
I make a new playlist every few months including old stuff and new ( I get recommendations from DS2(27). I listen to it on repeat then start a new one.
I always set it to play in random order.

Currently listening to a blues playlist with old and new.
You can also listen to podcasts on there.

Costs me about £18 a month but 4 adults use it. DC clock up 100k hours a year.

Through Spotify using my AirPods. My DP and I have a dual account, which works out cheaper than having individual accounts.

I forgot to say, it costs us £16.99 per month (for both of us)

Choose albums on Apple Music phone to play on smart speaker.

Clock radio

radio in car

Usually Radio 6 at home then my playlists on Spotify when I’m out walking or in the car. We have premium as a family for about £20 a month.

Apple Music. Family plan.

Spotify. If you don't mind adverts, you can listen to it for free. We have a family subscription.

Vinyl, various Google displays at home,YouTube music when listening through my phone on earbuds.

Mostly Spotify Premium, sometimes YouTube.

Spotify
Bbc sounds for radio 1 or a particular music show or playlist

Both mandatory on my phone, couldn't be without them

Listening to the rap show on 1xtra now - at 33 and a mum, I dont think I'm the target audience 🤭

I listen to Spotify for music and podcasts on my phone or tv or Alexa. Love it. I subscribe so no adverts.

Another Spotify Family user - 6 of us use it daily although I get mocked for my annual summary thing.

Spotify for, I'm not kidding, almost every minute I'm awake.
