Title: *puts on some music*
Post by: SourdoughStomper on January 18, 2013, 06:51:17 AM: Occasionally, we'll listen to the actual radio, especially if we're interested in local news. However, most the time I'm listening to my MP3 player. I even bought a few new songs on iTunes last night. Dukes of Dixieland, Frank Sinatra, Kool and the Gang, Bobby McFerrin, and so on. :biggrin:

You?

Post by: shockponie on January 18, 2013, 07:19:24 AM: I adore my local hard rock radio station. The DJs are hilarious and entertaining, and they spin awesome tracks. :satisfied:

Post by: josiekat on January 18, 2013, 07:38:21 AM: I listen to AM/FM. Although, I listen to sports talk radio and not music.

Post by: BabyInBlue on January 18, 2013, 07:44:06 AM: I listen to the radio, CD's, & my iPod....there's no option for that! :(
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Saber-Toothed Crow on January 18, 2013, 07:51:03 AM: I tend to avoid the radio, there aren't any stations that play the kind of music I like. About the only time I hear the radio is when I'm in my car, and that's because it's so ancient a radio is all it has for music options. XD

Post by: SkyCakes on January 18, 2013, 07:59:59 AM: I listen to the internet radio. I find its conventiant for me. I don't really like a ton of ads that any radio station has though. I find myself going to another channel very quickly. I also really don't like it when a station plays the same stuff over and over again. ugh. >_<

I hate it when they start to blabber :D
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Vintergatan on January 18, 2013, 08:27:15 AM: I chose no, but we do sometimes play it in the car, though even then I prefer to plug in my Mp3 player

Post by: Wadatsumi on January 18, 2013, 08:31:53 AM: just my own music ^^
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Melissa on January 18, 2013, 08:55:16 AM: I do! When I bought my Kia Sportage 2 years ago, it came with 3 free months of Sirius radio. Since I bought my car in June, the offer expired at the end of September. My birthday is at the beginning of October, so for the past two years, my parents have paid my Sirius bill as my birthday present since I'm kind of hard to shop for. Lol.

Post by: kaoskat on January 18, 2013, 09:41:52 AM: Mostly we listen to cds. Easier than hunting up a station.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Falconaitae on January 18, 2013, 10:33:28 AM: I have one program in local radiostation, that I listen every sunday since 13 or 14 years, the choice of music and personality of the presenter are that awesome. Other than that mostly CDs and MP3s.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Eviecorn on January 18, 2013, 10:34:05 AM: I use Spotify and my own MP3s, and listen to audio books, but never the radio.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: tikibirds on January 18, 2013, 10:45:32 AM: I used to al the time when I was in high school. Not so much now- mostly my Ipod. I seem to live in a black out zone for most radio stations, unless they are local. The car has Sirius radio bit even then, there are spots around here where there is no reception
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: NinaMarie on January 18, 2013, 11:12:10 AM: I listen to the radio but really only when i'm in the car.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: starrypawz on January 18, 2013, 11:23:19 AM: I don't really do radio, I tend to either play music off my laptop or my IPOD.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Yurusumaji on January 18, 2013, 11:29:28 AM: I tend to listen to FM radio on my way to work because my husband is usually in the car with me and he'll complain if I put on my iPod. When I'm driving and he's not in the car, the iPod goes on and I blast it!
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: rukkanen on January 18, 2013, 11:50:16 AM: I listen to FM radio while walking to school sometimes. I like the morning show on my favourite station. I don't even own a MP3-player and I'm too lazy to put music to my phone. :P
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: darknessunisousboy on January 18, 2013, 11:57:49 AM: ok so i lison to cd's,MP3's, pandora, and the ocaional radio station. if pandora is not working and i am tired of lisoning to the MP3 or CD i will lison to standard radio still.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: kiwimlp on January 18, 2013, 12:57:39 PM: I listen to radio talk-back every day on my way to work. My favourite host is changing jobs in March this year though and I am going to miss him so much! He is my voice of sanity in the mornings.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: ladyfenrir on January 18, 2013, 01:10:33 PM: almost always have the radio on - there's this channel here that plays lots of interesting music and has a ton of informative and educational programs that I enjoy listening to. :) it's the channel that all the old people and the information nerds here listen to, pretty much. you'll never hear so much as a hiccup of a pop-culture song on there.

as for actual music... CD's only for me.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Beldarna on January 18, 2013, 01:21:34 PM: No. I used to have this favorite station that mixed old and new music very nicley but then it decided to be like all the others and only played the latest hits with the occasional 90's song. It didn't go well with me so I stopped listen to it all together. I listen to my mp3 or on youtube.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Ren-Ren on January 18, 2013, 01:32:56 PM: I wasn't quite sure which option to choose, heh. While I do listen to quite a bit of "radio" (1-4hrs/day), most of it is talk radio. My show (A&G) is on 6am-10am, so though I will listen live if I happen to be in my car during that time, I mostly listen via podcast (does that count as internet radio?). For music, I mainly just stick to my ipod and the occasional CD, but I do have a station or two that I tune into occasionally.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: StarDapple on January 18, 2013, 02:58:20 PM: Regular AM/FM for me, but I have started to listen to my CDs more, as one of my favorite stations is now just talk radio, and the others are playing the same songs over and over again.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: sugar_apple on January 18, 2013, 03:30:05 PM: I mostly listen to my own stuff, but now and then I tune in to some online stations. Regular radio stations around here tend to be... boring, to put it nicely. If I'm driving, though, then I might turn on the radio, and it's not all bad, just need to do a lot of surfing :P (and on some rare occasion they might even play some good music.... like 'Doctorin' the Tardis' by The Timelords O_o )
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Sugar on January 18, 2013, 04:13:42 PM: Radio for us, both at work and at home. Though at work it's all pop, at home we vary between classical, jazz, rock... whatever suits our fancy at the moment. ^.^

I miss whatever station it was that used to rerun old radio programs in the wee hours of the morning!
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: OLumeVaSti on January 18, 2013, 05:53:14 PM: I only listen to the radio while driving.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: RAMChYLD on January 18, 2013, 06:49:00 PM: I listen to my own CDs. I can't stand radio, full of advertisements and government propaganda, and Beiber and other junk. Can't take it.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Stuntwoman on January 18, 2013, 08:34:57 PM: Spotify/MP3s on my phone, and records only when I'm at home.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Corona on January 18, 2013, 08:38:24 PM: 99% of the time I use my own music. Sometimes I use AOL Radio's classic hard rock station if I'm cleaning up my room or doing crafty stuff.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: kittybethy on January 18, 2013, 10:29:44 PM: I listen to the radio at work. That's it!
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Shenanigans on January 19, 2013, 12:28:45 AM: You should have had an "I only listen to the radio during Christmas" option XD I only listen to Christmas songs on the radio :P
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Cumberbatch2012 on January 19, 2013, 12:30:17 AM: I usually listen to Sirius, but not right now because I need to renew my subscription. Otherwise I listen to a heavy rock/metal station called Real Rock. I also listen to CD's, my iPod, music on my Macbook Pro, Pandora and Spotify. I listen to music pretty much anywhere I can get it, not to mention all the live shows I go to.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: hilamb on January 19, 2013, 01:31:09 AM: Rarely. I usually listen to music i have on my pc, or music on youtube. :P
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Lancer on January 19, 2013, 04:11:56 AM: I usually don't have time to listen live unless I'm in the car, but will listen to certain radio shows on the BBC i-player - Elaine Paige on Sunday, Paul O'Grady, Friday Night is Music Night and the David Jacobs Collection. I'm quite fussy about what music I listen to (I hate modern music for the most part!), so other shows tend to drive me mad.

I also listen to CBC Radio One Pacific's live stream while writing blogs/e-mails late at night, "On The Coast" being my favourite show. (Got to love those Canadian accents - and it's the easiest way to keep up with the news over there too!)
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: DazzleKitty on January 19, 2013, 06:11:32 AM: I list to my own music/mp3s. I only listen the radio when my parents have it on in the car. They listen to mainly country.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: TeddyAndTex on January 19, 2013, 09:27:06 AM: Nope :P the closest I get to radio are podcasts and I only listen to those when I'm busy or going for a jog.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Hervoyel on January 19, 2013, 09:28:36 AM: Heh, there's no "all of the above"?

I listen to Sirius in the car, CBC radio for the 10 minutes or so after my alarm goes off in the morning, and then my own music the rest of the time.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Kiwi on January 19, 2013, 09:45:27 AM: I always listen to the radio in the car :) I've never touched the CD player, lol.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: roselalonde on January 19, 2013, 11:48:36 AM: I only ever listen to the radio in the car. Otherwise I'm just listening to my music. :biggrin:
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Kaeldre on January 19, 2013, 12:12:54 PM: I don't care much for radio unless it's satellite or Pandora. In the car, I plug in my iPhone. :3 Other than that, I'll listen to what's in my iTunes or my vinyl records on the big stereo downstairs. :3
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: BlackCurtains on January 19, 2013, 01:46:12 PM: I love my iPod and use it everyday but sometimes I'll tune in to the metal stations on iTunes radio.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: lonewolf on January 19, 2013, 09:56:13 PM: I don't listen to the radio too much. When I go on long distance trips I usually take my boombox cassette player with me. If it's just an errand downtown I listen to the radio in my car, which only get's AM :what: It does a good job though. I can pick up a classic country station in Iowa!
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: andibgoode on January 19, 2013, 10:00:20 PM: I sometimes listen to the radio in the car but I can't stand listening to people talk in between all the songs so I generally just listen to old mixtapes (yep, still have a tape deck in the car) and at home I'm either playing songs through iTunes (a lot of which are ripped from my CDs but I don't have a stereo in my room anymore) or my vinyl collection. And I like a lot of different kinds of music.

And I use my iPod (on my iPhone) on the bus.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: DoctorMowinckel on January 19, 2013, 11:15:28 PM: Sometimes I'm in the mood to have someone or something else choose what I listen to, so I'll listen to a lot of online radio. I subscribe to JazzRadio.com, listen to a lot of minimalist ambient stations, and tune into Soma FM a lot.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Honeycomb on January 20, 2013, 03:12:10 AM: I love music, but I dislike German radio. Their music selection and the endless bla-bla is just annoying. So I just listen to mp3s and CDs.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Leopard_Print_Unicorn on January 20, 2013, 10:50:55 AM: I usually have my old iPod in the car and of course my iTunes on my computer, but when the iPod is charging or I forgot to bring it or I just can't decide what to listen to, I turn on the radio. Usually Top 40 or Rock, though there aren't really any decent rock stations any more. I'm old and boring :)
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: cyberunicorn on January 20, 2013, 11:25:44 AM: Yes I listen to music when I ride out at work (occasionally sing to the tracks) there is only so many times you can go out in the horizontal rain with only a horse for company.

but never to the radio especially if I am in the car. If I want to listen to some person talking I will take a passenger along for the ride
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Reiya on January 20, 2013, 11:49:06 AM: I love going to my local CD shop or Half Price Books and picking up used CDs that are difficult to find. Usually I try to stick with buying the ones on sale for $3 or less but every once and a while I break down and splurge on the regular priced ones that run around $7.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: partypony566 on January 20, 2013, 03:09:59 PM: Just the fm radio in the car :)
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: TwistedWindSox on January 20, 2013, 03:27:16 PM: All the radio stations that we get here are lame :P
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Sunshine on January 20, 2013, 07:48:12 PM: All I listen to is Pandora... lol, soo 2009 right? But I have two absolutely amazing stations that I've "trained" over the years to be just my style...

I have a station called "80s cardio" - which hardly is, but is mostly Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Motown and Funk Music (and LADY GAGA! Woot for having that somehow get played on there but it does and it's great!)
And also a "Rush" station which is amazing classic rock like Rush, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Journey and others of the same like.

Those are my two favorite stations... like ever. And my car uses bluetooth to connect to it off my phone (doesn't have Pandora in the radio) and so I just get to listen to it wherever I go! :D
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: starrypawz on January 21, 2013, 07:44:20 AM: I for the most part only listen to my own MP3 player. Only tend to listen to the radio if I'm in the car with my parents, or when I'm at volunteering since all the animal areas have a radio in them.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Iceglider on January 21, 2013, 07:49:20 AM: I listen to the local Christian station for programs like Family Talk and news. For music I mostly listen to my own or use Pandora on my iphone.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: Shaiyeh on January 22, 2013, 01:11:25 PM: radio in the car, or when any of the other family members have it on. otherwise, always my own music via itunes on my phone or computer :P
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: invaderhorizongreen on January 22, 2013, 04:52:47 PM: why on earth did you not have a listen to the record player on the poll ??? I have one and I love it.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: June on January 23, 2013, 12:56:01 PM: We have a normal FM radio in the kitchen which is tuned to the local station for the news etc. It is turned on during most of the day. I sometimes turn on FM radio in my room, but tune to the different station which has better music and shows for my taste.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: starrypawz on January 23, 2013, 01:45:25 PM: Oh wait, sometimes my brother plays 'Planet Rock' which I occassionally listen to if like he's gaming and I'm on the XBOX and if he's hanging around in my room he'll sometimes put it on
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: LNS on January 25, 2013, 05:20:35 PM: Almost always my iPod. Love it. :hearts: Being able to create my own playlists is wonderful. Do occasionally still play the CDs or MP3s on iTunes. Having a speaker for the iPod though makes it so I have it going almost constantly when home and if I'm not home I take it and my headphones with me.

Once in a great while I'll fiddle with the radio. Generally to find a classical station for a little bit or around the holidays to listen to Christmas music. Although really even those I listen to mostly on my iPod. Just simpler honestly.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: achab1984 on January 25, 2013, 07:58:41 PM: I do when I am getting things done around the house. And of course always in the car. I do not have all that fancy stuff in my car just the normal am/fm and cd player. I do not need all that other stuff.
Title: Re: *puts on some music*
Post by: rearing_palomino164 on January 25, 2013, 08:29:27 PM: I switch back and forth from my ipod to the radio. Mainly the radio when I'm looking for new music.
