I know we have quite a few topics on music, ranging from favorite artists to playing instruments, but we've never discussed how everyone listens to it. While playing music on my computer today, I began to wonder how often most people listen to it and what they listen with. For me, I've always used earbuds because, while I prefer it out loud (I can sing along :P), earbuds give me privacy when listening and, of course, it doesn't distract others from what they're doing. However, sometimes I'll find a quiet spot where I can turn it down and enjoy it quietly.
I will literally listen to music for hours on end while performing all of my day-to-day activities and I have a wide range of music I enjoy, from Pop to softer, calming songs. Music has always been a part of my life and I have a hard time going too long without it :P
So, with that said, do you prefer to use earbuds and/or headphones to listen to music, or would you rather play it out loud? How often do you hear music? Is it something you crave or can you do without it?
