When at home, I hook up headphones to my turntable, the absolute best way to hear everything in music. When out and about, mostly on CD/MP3 players with headphones or through the car stereo.

My favorite method -

At home, my armchair, cat on the lap, through the hi-fi (Gale 5i speakers & Eltax sub-woofer for those essential 'bass pedal moments'), cigarette on the go, preferably a bottle of Theakston's Old Peculiar on the side.... Heaven!

I listen to music constantly throughout my day.When I wake up I usually listen on our stereo while getting ready for work and eating breakfast,I take about 20 cds to work everyday and listen all day on my portable cd player,in the car in my car stereo,and at home I listen to most of my music on the computer,and also on our stereo.Sometimes at home I listen through headphones,it all depends on my mood.

I currently don't have an mp3 player but my snitch of a daughter told me that my wife got me one for Christmas

Definitely on the stereo!! Full concentration, no reading (well, maybe the lyrics or *about* the particular band*), but otherwise, strictly focusing on the detail. Pity it's becoming rare to purchase louspeakers, without having to buy the whole shabang or 'home theater' crap. At least in some countries, I find it difficult to upgrade my KEFs.
But sure, prog through loudspeakers is my way of pleasure!!
I particularly liked the earlier reply about listening to prog at certain places to reminisce about certain events in your life. That's what happens to me when I listen to "Selling England By The Pound", my first ever prog album that I purchased (at DMV, Manhattan )Brings back a mix of nostalgia, sadness but elation at the same time.

I have an MP3 player and speakers all over the place. I have speakers with a sub-woofer in the basement, speakers in the car and speakers at work. I also have some little foldable speakers for use in the places where I don't have other speakers.

Does your wife get fed up with too much prog metal at home?

But of course

And also death metal,black metal.....etc.

Let's say she's not fond of it but tolerant of it.
