this, but i get albums that bump on CD, and i purchase vinyl when the album reminds me of a nice day inside

Absolutely this.

Altough I buy a cd from time to time: just my real favourites.

MP3 Player, at work only though. It's an investment yes but it turns a lot of dead time into album listening opportunities.

I tend to:

- stream purely on a sample basis only (in fact I've just cancelled my Spotify subscription as I wasn't really using it)
- 'acquire' the music I like the sound of digitally to 'road test it' whilst driving around (i.e. listen in my car whilst working)
- if I like it enough, buy it on vinyl

Therefore, I'll listen to MP3s in the car and whilst trying to get off to sleep, and vinyl when I'm in my home office/study/call it what you will.

I very rarely listen to CDs despite having a half-decent deck, in fact I've got hundreds just sitting around gathering dust. I'd probably sell all but about 250 of them if I thought they'd fetch a fair price, but not even passing plebs at car boot sales seem interested. Having said that, reggae sells particularly well...

Outside of my room I use headphones and my phone, or aux cable and phone in the car. If I want to hear something new I'll stream it somewhere, but I mostly spend my time with what I own.

Most of my CD music I import music from library copies and then burn them to a blank cd...I'm a crook I know. 🙄 If I'm going to be honest, I have way more Cds than vinyl. I have around 100 records and around 250+ cds. Boo hiss.

Pretty much the same, although I use a diskman instead.

i believe the last side "metal machine music" had a ridge that just sent the needle back to the beginning, thus giving it an infinite runtime.

comments like yours also make me wonder what it would be like to listen to "since i left you" or something like that on vinyl

ah nah it just has a locked groove at the end so that the last tiny bit would be playing on a loop. still though, you're not going to find a 40 minute composition without interruption on vinyl, or a 90 minute composition on cd.

Digital (streaming) most of the time, but I also listen to CDs in the car, and vinyl at home.

I have a vinyl shelf, a CD drawer, and a terabyte of mp3s.

What else is new?

The title says it for itself, I personally list to my music on Vinyl, Cd, and Cassette.
