The music I listen to daily comes from (in order of priority):

-Locally stored in my desktop
-Google music on smartphone/tablet (same songs as above)
-Pandora
-Youtube
Ditto. Google Music is very nice if you've got an android device...not so much if you're on an iPhone. I was disappointed that my wife can't play my music collection on her iPhone. (the one app they had has issues) If I could ever convince my wife to move away from the Fisher-Price of Phones, I would set her up, but she's hooked on facetime.

At work its pandora usually on grateful dead or the clash station. On commute its on my note 3 with local music on an sd card. At home its either my vinyl or my whole collection stuff on my pc. in the car its xm radio usually tuned in the 60s 70s or 80s stations. I havent moved beyond the 90s as its hard to find anything worth it.

@work - stream internet radio - flip between various SomaFM channels - unobtrusive background music

@car - terrestrial radio broadcast or my mp3 player

@home - personal mp3 collection on desktop pc; use WinAMP

I usually have music playing wherever I am. Never use headphones.

I have a constantly running soundtrack in my head. It sometimes turns off when I'm listening to music. Other times it just keeps running so there is the song that is playing on the stereo plus the other song running in my head simultaneously. Sometimes the harmonics are really good.

For several days last week, it was my head. I had the goddamn intro to that terribly fucking shitty Bon Jovi song that starts out "THIS AIN'T A SONG FOR THE BROKEN HEARTED" stuck in my head; it was the first thing that popped in my head when I got up in the morning. Ugh, what a nightmare.

Otherwise, none, I barely ever listen to music (anywhere). Pretty much the only thing I listen to is the radio (NPR/Michigan Radio), or more often lately it's been audiobooks, in the car.

I used to use both Pandora and spotify. For the past six months or so I've really focused on Spotify and it seems to be a better fit for me than Pandora.

Usually I listen to the music on my laptop, but when I need something fresh I use youtube if I stay connected, or listen to the radio if I am driving.

I've been using mostly Spotify lately.

Pandora seems to ruin every channel I create by slowly populating it with pop music. Doesn't matter what kind of channel it is, could be classical music, it will eventually start playing top 20 songs.

Google Music is awesome, but they don't have the selection that Spotify has.

GrooveShark. I'm surprised it isn't more popular. I listen to old music so maybe that's why.

Locally stored. Very rarely is it from any other sources and I find Pandora rather annoying as it plays too many songs I really just don't like despite the genre. Internet radio is ok but I don't have convenience of access very often.
99.9% of all my music listening is done in the car from the storage drive that I copy from my computer.
