How do you listen to your metal these days?

JackieBauer

As I don't have a computer, it's still CD's (which can draw ridicule I've noticed) I suppose I'll have to get this sorted sometime but **** it, I'm listening to a Possessed CD that I got second hand for a fiver years ago!

I'm a sucker for buying CDs from merch stands after gigs.

But the vast majority the music is legally downloaded and played through my phone and a pair of beats headphones.

Slightly OFF Topic

@Anesthetize - Does Chromecast work with a Spotify Unlimited account? That's the one I have - for 5 quid a month. Not the €10 per month premium. I've searched high and low on the interwebs but can't seem to get a definitive answer on that. Thanks.

Back On Topic
Spotify on computer through headphones
CDs through stereo
Spotify through PS4 when gaming
Ipod through stereo

I honestly don't know if it does. I've only ever used it with premium.

This article here however seems to indicate that only Premium is supported:

Mostly loudly.

With my ears.

The best way to listen to music has been and always will be the live show. There are some bands I wouldn't listen to their CD but I'd go to see them live at a festival or show.

Bought a decent stereo system and record player. Sabbath and Ghost and stuff on vinyl. Devin Townsend etc on CD.

I got sick of listening to music from a computer.

Bandcamp. Mainly from recommendations from the Sludgelord blog.

So, mostly mp3. But would like to be "that guy" and get a record player... just don't have the space at the moment!

Im the total opposite. Iv come to despise live metal lately. ****y sound, too loud, surrounded by stinking people, vocalists who barely know a single word of their own music, Primordials Nemthenga was a disgrace at the recent gig in the academy. Ass holes throwing pints of ****y beer all over the place.

You wouldn't think Iv resolved to end going to gigs recently?! :-)

I've got a record player but no metal records. Something I need to address soon
