What do you play music on?

[Seanchailleach]

Feeling totally out of touch.
If I want some music I buy a CD. My nephew's look at CDs and CD players like they are from the ark. They don't know what to do with them. How do people give each other music and what do you play it on? My car doesn't have a CD player, how can I play my favourite music in the car? I got an MP3 player but it's so tiny, I can't read the track names. I tried ripping my CDs to the computer, but they are all unknown album, unknown artist, Track 1 etc. The sound isn't always great either. What should I be doing?

If you still want to but the physical media and listen to music at high quality (as opposed to the crap quality you get from streaming) you can rip it into Apple Music or similar on your computer then keep your music on a NAS drive which can be accessed via your TV or hifi. We connected a Sonos amp to our TV with a couple of good speakers attached and generally play music through that. You can also copy it to a large USB stick and put that in (most) cars and access it through the car media system.

It depends what room I'm in but I use a record player, my phone, Google, the radio on the TV and cd player.

CD player or radio/tv, or occasionally vinyl. Sometimes watch a music video on YouTube - that's about as far as I go with digital music.

I don’t really play music. I’d rather listen to a podcast. My kids don’t own CDs, it’s all streaming and Spotify.
