Nowadays there are so many different ways to listen to music but which do you use mostly? I know it's possible to use more than one of these but which one do you use the most?   I can tell you that I use Spotify and only buy the music if it's really good or if it's Avril's albums  |

Mostly buying through CDs and iTunes. For some reason I can’t get into streaming and I only use it or YouTube for looking up songs just to listen to them maybe once that I don’t like enough to buy.

where is the variant "I'm not gonna tell you!"?  no, I am not using streaming services. they first should work well with my computer configuration, my country etc. so, of course "buy it".

But I cannot use them. Google play... I hate it! so disgustingly buggy and unusable service. |

Mostly through streaming on Google Play Music. I do use Youtube and have bought a few vinyls in the last year.

I agree with BogoGog24, for some reason I cant get into streaming music. Perhaps an old fashioned view now but I guess I don't feel like I own it (and also, what if my internet went down?!).
I tend to download from Amazon (occasionally iTunes when a special release or I can't find it anywhere else), and for my favourite artists I'll always buy the physical album.
I do love when there's bonuses you can't get with a download, for example when there's beautiful artwork, or the magazine's that Taylor swift released with reputation. It just makes it more tangible and inspired, more of a whole package and personal I guess.
On a related note, I tend to listen through the standard Windows media player at the moment. I do like music bee and media monkey but I haven't found my ideal layout/setup just yet. 😊

I haven't bought any music in a long time, and I just find stuff that's been uploaded to Youtube these days. Legally questionable, but covenient. And free.
Lately I've been using Spotify too. I was actually really impressed with how massive its library is.

I usually download my music. I never really used streaming services like Spotify, mostly because you never really "own" the music. When you have the actual music files, you van do with them what you want (share with friends or transfer to other devices). Most of the time i use Spotify for finding new music, or i put on one of those Spotify-playlists. I do buy physical albums though, but only when i really like it.

Youtube or usually when I really like something I download the Album/EP or the whole discography An then there are certain song I like the most or get stuck and listen to them indefinetely, like dozens or hundreads of time until I get tired of them. I like to listen to something until I get used to it, since I get familiar with it and it's no longuer such novelty I just listen most of the times while doing something else The last album I bought was this one when I was 10 yo, but many artists I listen today aren't even commercial, Crazy Frog has gone underground too  |
