Leader Jordan Miller Posted March 9, 2020 Leader Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hey Exhale, wondering... what are your music listening habits? I find myself listening to music pretty much all the time (as you can imagine). I use Spotify. All my remixes, b-sides and physical downloads are on a hard drive somewhere so I don't get to enjoy them too often anymore. I listen to music when I'm... Working on BreatheHeavy Driving Working out In the shower Yea... that's basically all hours of the day It's worth mentioning I listen to a lot of podcasts as well. I tend to listen to them when I'm either driving or getting ready for bed. HBU? Where do you find yourself listening to music the most?

GimmegimmeBritney Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I like listening to songs reversed so I understand their satanics messages better Link to comment
redacted statement Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I listen to music pretty much all the time as well except when I'm at uni / studying something that requires actual concentration. I use Apple Music because I prefer the design and the way the library is organized compared to the mess that is Spotify. I have like a billion songs in my library (it takes over a minute to scroll through all of my songs and that's not counting K-Pop). I used to strictly go for shuffle mode, but these days I've gone back to listening to albums in full as well. As for podcasts... Yeah, I listen to those as well. The two podcasts that I listen to most are "Mile Higher" (conspiracies, true crime, mysteries) and "Big Mood" (girl talk even though I'm a guy). Just checked and I have 2672 songs in my library from like 80 or something artists. With K-Pop it'd be like 4000, tbh... Link to comment
Roxxy Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Music never stops for me because silence scares me. Except when I need to go to sleep. The moment I wake up - i reach for my tablet (connected to a speaker) and immediately play some music. I don't use Spotify that much because album art is very vital to my listening experience. I don't like listening to a single and seeing the album cover. Also, not complete. I only use Spotify when I want to listen to an album or artist that I don't like or don't have their music - but need to listen to their album because it's relevant and so i could get a sense of who they are as an artist. Examples of these are Halsey or Camila Cabello or Harry Styles. That's how I stay in-the-know even if I don't stan artists below the B list. I can't make judgments on Halsey without actually listening to her music, right? I have a lot of music on my tablet and laptop. They both have everything. Literally, identical. I'm a playlist person. Seriously. Not exaggerating. I am serious about playlist making. I have playlists for all the biggest and most important artists of our time - consisting of their singles arranged chronologically with proper tags and accurate HD album art. I read and watch news a lot and I have a habit of listening to an artist after reading or watching them on tv or on the net or a news article. Example, if I see Billboard posting a "Happy Birthday, Madonna!" then I'll play the Madonna playlist the entire day. If there are two celebrants, i'll listen to both artists. If i stumble upon an article like "Britney Spears In The Zone celebrates its 15th anniversary", then I'm playing ITZ the entire day. If I go on Twitter and I see "12 years of Break the Ice!" i'll listen to it... well, not for the entire day but maybe for 2 hours. If Calvin Harris nude photos leak on Twitter, I'll listen to his entire discography. True story btw. I listened to Thank U, Next after the Grammys because #JusticeForThankUNext. I also listened to WWAFAWDWG because Billie cleaned up. My listening habits go with the times. Hehe. Aside from playlists of each artists' singles discography (I have like around 100), I also have playlist for each of my favorite K-Drama soundtracks. And then I have assorted playlists like "Roxxy Moods", "Roxxy Vibes", "Roxxy Sl-t", "Roxxy Childhood" "Roxxy Anthems", "Roxxy Driving", "Roxxy Mad", "Roxxy Sad", "Roxxy Love", "Mariah Driving", "Good Morning Roxxy", "All. B.Spears", "Essential Roxxy", "Essential Roxxy K-Pop Edition", "The Emancipation of Roxxy", "Super Sentai Themes", "Anime Faves", "Easy Listening K-Pop", "SMTown", "YG Family", "JYP Nation", "Millenial Females", "K-Drama OST", "K-Drama OST Fat Free", "Legends Only", "K-Pop Sl-t", and the most basic and all around dump for new releases... "New New New". Link to comment
ILikeChillinWithYou Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I don't use Spotify since I'm too petty to pay for premium and the low volume and the ads just bother me So I convert YouTube audios into MP3 files and download and listen *offline to save data* on Google Play Music Others would call it Pirating or illegal but I'd like to call it saving money Link to comment
MissSpearsSaysSo Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I can’t have my phone at much during work, I’m a Pastry Chef so there’s flour everywhere. But I usually play Madonna’s Immaculate Collection when I’m cleaning up my bakery. But when I’m home I’m listening all the time. YouTube, my CDs and apple are my faves. I still love to play my Britney dvds and stuff too. I love a good physical piece of music, it speaks to my soul. Link to comment
Nickey Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I listen to a looot of music. I'm pretty weird so it's not only Britney, 2000s bops but also 1990s, 1980s, 1970s and even older music sometimes I'd freak out if I had to use Spotify or something, nah. The quality of the sound, album covers and THE MESS in tags, well I can't stand that. Also a lot of vintage music is just not available there. I like buying CDs and vinyl and even cassette, but I prefer listen to digital copies of those mostly. Vinyl is pretty cool but not for everyday use, also I need to buy CD and cassette decks to enjoy listening directly from those. But more about digital, I use my phone and laptop. Software is important here, cause with the amount of music I listen to, I have to have a good music player and organizer. I care about having all of the albums in right order, tagged properly and with the best album art cover possible, I often scan the CD/vinyl covers to get best results (high five, @Roxxy ) And yeah, I listen to music almost all the time and almost everyday Link to comment

Especially when I'm familiar with the music - and i'm familiar with a lot (the relevant ones). Also, it's not up to par with authentic m4a and flac files. You can clearly hear the difference even when I have Spotify premium. My main use for Spotify is to listen to podcasts. Also yeah ! HIGH FIVE! ❤❤❤ Link to comment
Urbanney Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I listen to it a lot. Recently, I've been more into podcasts than music, but I usually listen to it a lot. It's always on Spotify, cuz I have local files set up on there. Walking to/from class, work, the gym Driving While working (split 50/50 with podcasts) At the gym or while going on runs While working on assignments or studying While gaming (which I do rarely) While I listen to music a lot and for almost every situation, I also spend a good amount of time not listening to anything too. I like a balance. Link to comment

CrAzAY Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I also make a new playlist list every month with new music that I like. When I find a new song that I love it’s on repeat until I get sick if it. The rest of my music is broken up into 2 playlists, 80s and below and 90s and above. Plus some other sub categories like Britney, Rihanna, boy bands, dance pop, etc. I listen to the oldies playlist the most lately, I feel like there’s some kind of psychology behind that like it reminds me of being a kid and simpler times. I use Apple Music from my phone connected to the house speakers or my car and I listen to music when I’m cleaning, driving and showering. I also listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Link to comment
Jayjukebox Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I listen to music: First thing in the morning while getting ready for work( morning jam sessions are amazing). During work( have to play that elevator music, none of my hood jams) While I gym (that's when I have to decide between lifting and twerking) Link to comment
Isla Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I tend to find myself listening to music in the evenings, sometimes late at night after I've finished work (When I work, I finish at midnight and listening to music after I've finished a long shift relaxes me almost) I use Spotify and just tend to stick certain songs I've been listening to on repeat. I have a habit of listening to new songs for only a certain number of days and then taking a break from them as I don't want to overplay them. Link to comment

PokemonSpears Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I used to listen to music all of the time on my phone, on my way to work / home, and at my previous job I would listen to music all day while programming. Not so much at home, unless it's from a youtube video (I spent all my free time watching youtube videos, of all kinds, not just music). But ever since I changed jobs, I find myself listening to less music than before, because they're always talking to me or my coworker makes me listen to his music or podcasts. Also, I work less hours so time flies faster, and I don't feel the need to distract myself, but I need to go back to listening to my music because I can't live without it. Link to comment

Except for Britney's music, which I just copied it from the physical albums (sans unavailable bonus tracks). Most of the stuff I listen to from other artists are sparse songs, or even stuff from Mexican artists from the 80's / 90's that for some reason isn't on digital platforms. Whenever I can, I stream from youtube instead, if they're available. Link to comment

I will not accept listening to music if it's not m4a or flac. Atleast not on my house. I just can't. It's just... ugh. But I'm fine with whatever music I hear when I'm at another person's place. I don't judge. But just for me, for myself, for my own sanity, I will not accept anything less. Although, whenever I'm at someone else's place - usually people are always nice and offer that if I have it, i should just connect my tablet or laptop to their speakers. Ahhh~ I love considerate people. ❤ The only mp3 files I have are the leaked demos, anime soundtracks, kdrama soundtracks, super sentai soundtracks, you know unimportant stuff that I'm okay ripping from Youtube or getting from the net.
