With my ears. Sometimes with my toes but it’s not as enjoyable.
Jokes like this make me think that we as humans deserve things like the plague.
then how tf do YOU listen to music?
I take acid and watch it
I’m tried getting into acid, started with small stuff, like citric acid, but when I tried stronger acids it hurt my throat, so I stopped
Bro, no joke. Sprinkle some citric acid on some wet grapes. SOUR CITY
honestly, if I knew where to get actual acid I’d give it a try.
please don’t reply here with info that might get you in trouble.
Spotify, but considering switching back to piracy
I stream my own collection (about 35K tracks) from my home laptop (at the moment) using mpd.
It’s available everywhere there’s internet 24/7.
It’s usually playing (at least in the background) whenever I’m awake.
I use tailscale to access remotely (phone/car/wherever).In case that fails, everything is backed up and synced to the free ibroadcast.com plan.
I use Spotify. I have some Anker Soundcore iP30 ear buds that I got for $25 through Costco. They work well enough. I was thinking about getting an MP3/DAP and managing my own library though. Spotify’s recommendations totally suck, but it’s so easy to access. However, as of late, I feel that infinite options actually limits my listening, because instead of enjoying it, I’m always looking to what’s next because it may be better.
I’m curious why you think Spotify’s recommendations suck. You kind of have to train the algorithm first, but I’ve found lots of awesome bands I would never have heard of otherwise via the Discover Weekly playlist.
Because I like one or two country songs and year ago and now it only suggests country.
There are really only a couple of occasions when I will.
- When driving alone. Sometimes I will be in the mood for a podcast, but occasionally music instead. I have a single playlist of around 1600 tracks on my phone for this.
- When my SO and I are eating at home. We both have misophonia to some degree. In my SO’s case this results in her wanting to stab anyone making chewing noises with a fork. It is slurping noises with me. To minimise the stabbing we listen to, typically, BBC R3 when eating together. Until recently we had a DAB radio for this, but reception is crap where we are nowadays, so we have a bluetooth speaker setup for our phones.
All the time, however I can.
My collection is about 60gb, in mp3s. I have a navidrome server at home, and Tempo app in my phone. In the car, I use a 64gb thumb drive and the car stereo.
I also have about 200 CDs and 500 LPs for when I’m relaxing or cooking or cleaning.
I like to listen to albums. I learned a long time ago that the best tracks are usually not the singles, or if they are, it’s not really an artist I’ll listen to.
Bose QC Ultra headphones connected to either my phone or computer, running Plexamp and streaming music from my homeserver.
Usually while I’m working I will listen to various lofi playlists and while doing housework I will listen to my favourite songs list or when I’m traveling by train. I do all this with Spotify.

I have a Jellyfin server with a music library. Mostly listen in the car and sometimes at home.
Through a few community radio stations. I’ve long been a volunteer DJ for one in my region. Tune into the shows that I resonate with. Awesome to hear what some actual folks have curated for the week. Discover lots of new music that way and also through research into what I’d like to play on the next show.
WELCOME BACK LISTENERS! This yo boy D-D-D-DJ JOHNNY DEADEYES! We’re about to hit you with that twin-spin sound sandwich. Here’s Private Eyes by Hall and Oates!
It’s seriously a blast to broadcast whatever you like (within community standards). After working in commercial and affiliate public stations, it’s refreshing. Think I did play that track once in a set of stalker songs.
In the highest quality available with an external USB DAC and studio monitors. Usually I listen to music alone; I don’t like blasting music on speakers unless I’m in my car.
Which DAC‽ You can’t just tease me like that.
Nothing too fancy, just an AudioQuest DragonFly Red. I even have a Lightning to USB-A adaptor just for using it with my iPhone.
MP3s on my phone played in the car over Bluetooth. Same MP3s played on my main computer from my NAS or on my stereo though an app that came with the receiver.
I had Spotify for years and years. Their recommendations got worse over time and i found myself listening to them less. And the. Almost not at all. So I cancelled. I’ve tried tidal and Deezer. Bandcamp has been ok for finding music sometimes. I’ve been checking cds out of the library more. Lots of damage to those that interferes. CD sound quality should be better than mp3. I’m considering making a physical media purchase every month or two and reducing streaming.
