I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly, but I’m curious about how much you care about it. And i specifically want to know about your enjoyment regardless if it’s considered a timeless masterpiece or just a meme song. (feel free to share you favorite artists while respecting other’s tastes)
Do you care about having decent enough devices to enjoy it or do you just buy the cheapest pair of earbuds to silence the world around you?
Do you have favorite albums or do you just hit play on a random playlist and zone out?
Do you ever listen to music just to enjoy it and nothing else?
Do you talk with passion about your favorite songs/albums/artists?
Do you spend time searching for music?
TL;DR is music art or content to you?
devices: I prefer high-quality audio equipment but if I don’t have it to hand I’ll listen on what I do have… or just sign out myself
album / playlist: I have favorite albums, I have favorite playlists, but my favorite way to listen is via a nested tree of smart playlists that automatically rotates in music depending on how highly I’ve rated it, how recently it’s been played, and how many times total it’s been played.
That is the only way I listen to music.
passion: yes, to the point of getting in trouble with my wife
searching: yes, I spend about a twentieth of my listening time on new music hoping to discover favorites
