How do you listen to music?

[DreamThrall]

When you listen to music on your computer, do you listen to random tracks or entire albums at a time?

 

[Lucid]

Usually on random.

 

[Shippi]

.

 

[Llama]

Depends.
I might stick on an album, then pick and song, play it about 5 times, pick anothet song, then go back to an album etc etc

 

[-Psy-]

Albums.

 

[Stigmata]

Since about April last year, I've listened to albums. Nothing but albums.

[Darkside55]

Random.

 

[Dynasty]

I'll hunt down songs in my playlists and play them once or twice each time. Usually i slap on an album depending on what mood im in, play 5 or 6 songs depending on the album itself (some albums get shite at the end), then move on.

Bit of both actually. I play specific genre playlists more often though.

 

[brink's]

Both, depends on my mood.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Both, depends on my mood.

Yup.

 

[Evo]

Pick and choose, often will just go for all stuff by one particular artist

 

[Keane]

Usually albums, since they flow a lot better than do random songs.

[knut]

I go through my player and pick songs, same for when I'm listening to my MP3 player. Random comes up with too much crap sometimes.

Not if you don't collect crap music

 

[Que-Ever]

Open WMP
search "ska"
hit play
hope I have 100 free hours

It's sorted by album, and I just go down the list.

Not if you don't collect crap music

Without being big-headed here, it's hard for me to avoid it as I like to think of myself as open to any music, be it by recommendation, general knowledge or a spure of the moment thing. I don't delete much music because who knows when it may come in handy or when I may get an urge to listen to it sometime?

 

[Adabiviak]

So few albums contain all good songs... and I've so many different albums in my collection. I wonder if the spread would follow age? I remember a time when there was no random besides time-consuming mix tapes or the radio. I also remember an exhiliration when I was finally able to let the music bounce around my collection on its own whim. (Anyone else here have an 8-track recorder back in the day?)

 

[Steven]

depends

 

[DreamThrall]

So few albums contain all good songs...

I guess that's why I'm really picky with the bands I listen to... most of the bands I listen to have albums with all good songs

 

[Shift]

randomage!

Not if you don't collect crap music

Like someone said before, there are very few albums (that I've listened to) that contain no filler

I normally pick and choose songs, listen to full albums or just put one track on repeat if I'm currently obsessed with it.
