How do you like to experience music?

Playing loud tuba music ain't a bad way to drown-out one's wind instrument I find.

I listen to music with the best possible audio system I could put together with the money I had. Ah.............the sweet sounds of Linn.

the best toy I have ever owned.

In bed, tripping, with headphones.

When I get a new album, I usually like to play it in my room when I'm alone and undistracted, and lie down on my bed, close my eyes and give it a good listen. The only problem with this is that I often find myself asleep and miss half the album. My room is my main place for listening to music, which I do pretty much constantly when I'm in here.

Most of the time, I listen in the car. But sometimes I'll put something on at work before my co-workers arrive(according to them, I have no taste in music).

But I try to listen while at home with headphones on(even the wife thinks I have no taste)

I listen to my mp3 player everyday when I walk to my workplace and when I return home. It's actually the best part of the working day!

At night when my wife goes to sleep (around 23 h) I use to listen to my music in the computer, while reading this forum

I never listen to prog in the living room, because my wife can't stand it.

Full-eared. Hehe.

I always carry something that plays music with me -- can't do without these mp3 thingies or a discman or even a walkman. Plus, i really enjoy just sitting in my house with some candles lit listening to vinyls.

Wow, Could I be the only one that sits indian style in the middle of the room with the speakers positioned 6-8 feet away in a perfect equalateral triangle with my head? Pretty loud but not to the point my ears try to close themsleves. Dark, the darker the better but my eyes are generally closed  so anything but a spotlight shinning at me is ok. Granted I can't do this as often as when I was younger but it's still the preferred method.
 Headphones to me take away about 1/3 of the experience of hearing music since I believe your body senses the soundwaves as well as your ears. Stereo effects are nice on headphones but they seem so small compared to a regular loudspeaker setup. I still use them on the computer though and enjoy them. When I lived in the southwest I hiked a lot and music on a walkman while hiking was pretty far out. I do miss that.
 In the car unfortunatly is where I do a majority of my listening these days. I have a 1 hour commute each way so it's a pretty large chunk of free time for me. It's not the best environment because I can't give 100% attention and the speakers of course are positioned wierd for good stereo but it's still pretty enjoyable.

I also plug my speakers into my portable CD player in my room from time to time and sit in the comfy chair... and draw thing... usually robots... silly silly robots. And airships. And cool stages for the awesome concerts I imagine myself playing in... If I could actually play an instrument that is. .. .  ah.... yes.

try learning how to play the triangle!
