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.
I have a Jellyfin server with a music library. Mostly listen in the car and sometimes at home.
My process involves a PC with Arch Linux (btw), .flac files, Strawberry music player, a Fiio K5 Pro DAC, and Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones.
I use almost the same setup except I use MX Linux and TruthEar Hexa.
A few different ways. Typically in the morning I like to start with my local independent music station (shout out to The Current) since I hate making decisions in the morning and like to see what is new. I also typically listen to them in the car if I am not listening to my NPR new station. I like to see what is new and what concerts are going on nearby.
While I am working I will typically listen to an entire album from start to finish on Spotify. I have a go to artists and I sometimes make an effort to listen an artist I likes entire catalog. I do sometimes just let it play after the album plays to see what comes up. My wife loves a more mixed so I will do their themed playlists and their artist radios. I also do the artist radio if I want to just see what is happening or I have a smaller gap.
We have a record player in our living room. So if we are planning on sitting and doing things in that room we will use that. Its mostly chill and vibe records so we need to be in that mood. We do that more in the fall and winter than the rest of the year since we won’t be in that room as often. Its often used around the holidays since we will be just vibing around the house
Most often, throw on an album I’ve listened to recently.
If I’m feeling a specific artist, I open their page and either select one of their albums or shuffle.
If I really don’t know, shuffle everything and skip what I don’t feel like listening to when it comes on.A bit weird eh? Never got into making playlists either.
- Obtain file
- Play on VLC (on Android)
I’m not really a song listener, I find movie, tv, or video game, mostly instrumental music, and add them to a folder.
Upload files to cloud and portable ssds for redundancy
Navidrome is my goto. Even has apps for iOS and Android, not native though. Don’t ask me where all the mo3s on my server come from, they just appear there.
Spotify, but considering switching back to piracy
radio.garden for listening to whichever ad-free stations we can find (usually classical/jazz stations) while at work.
rainwave.cc for when we’re at home and just want background music, fitting as it’s a site for video game music and covers.
when we have moods where we want to listen to specific songs and albums, youtube.
Spotify. I know a lot of people here like having thier own collection cough arrr cough, but Spotify makes finding new music from pretty unknown artists too easy.
The weekly Monday and Friday playlists are too amazing
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
