    I recently got a Pure Sensia to listen to internet radio, and I can play all my mp3 files from my PC on it also.
    I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

    Play on my pc usually, as got decent enough speakers. I sometimes listen on my N8, as great sound with the headset attached.

    Also, Youtube, and Spotify.
  • It depends where I am. In work it is Spotify, sometimes with the laptop plugged into external speakers. At home I have a little ipod dock in one room and another dock plugged into my hi-fi. Spotify is fantastic for discovering new music or when I take the notion of listening to something I haven't heard in ages. Ipod is great for handiness, but if I really want to listen to somethng it will be off CD as MP3s don't sound that great. I have a Thorens turntable that I really must get going again and listen to some vinyl from my youth.
  • Vinyl where possible, Youtube for convenience, Iphone in car.
  • Apple ipod touch..

    Download from youtube then convert it to mp3 with a video converter or a youtube downloader.

    I listen to a DAB radio in the kitchen.

    I listen to CD's on the stereo in the dining room.

    I listen to music on my laptop (youtube or ripped CDs or CDs themselves)

    I listen to the music channels on the TV.

    I listen to my MP3 player on a flight.


    That's about it! I used to download a lot of stuff, but haven't downloaded anything in quite a few years.

    Sometimes i use last.FM but to download music i use BT torrent.

  • what websites are the best for downloading music? with itunes you are tied to them right? do the others such as amazon, hmv, play let you play the songs on any computer/device (universal format?). also once you buy a song/album is it yours for life? can you keep redownloading it via your account with amazon etc? i'd actually like to start downloading music i really like legally but want to know the best way of doing it. most people tell me to download via torrents/mediafire but there's the fact it's illegal, could get a virus, and also the artist isnt recieving any recognition this way!

    ive used amazon alot for albums, you can put them on any device you want but im not sure if you can re download them again(although its possible but you may be restricted to say 3 re downloads). As to who is best i cant answer but ive downloaded some albums that were cheap on amazon(didnt compare to amazon prices though)
