I would like to listen in an armchair to cd or vinyl through a modest, though still good, stereo speaker system. But my life doesn’t include space or time for any of that.

So - almost 100% streaming, through earbuds, the car speakers, and/or HomePod. There was a time I was on Oink and then What - what put Apple Music to shame. The staff picks were eclectic and amazing and I learned a lot about new to me music styles.

I don’t like listening to music in the background in general, but dance/electronic music is good for background distraction for workouts and focus. But my preference is for classical music - Bach, Beethoven, etc. - depends on my mood. Sometimes I’m in the mood for Queen or Pink Floyd. I’m never in the mood for pop.
