We all have a way that we love to experience good music. Whether that be in a long subtle car ride, a peaceful day in the park, or a snowy day in the forest, I'm sure we all have a way that we love putting on an old favorite or a new discovery.
So what is that for you? Although I would love to listen to an album in a forest or near a stream (I've never done this), my favorite way to listen to music right now is late at night with all the lights off. I put on a good pair of headphones, turn up the volume, and simply immerse myself. This makes for a great time with more atmospheric albums. ![]() Anyone else? |

Listening to music in the forests around my house is surreal. This is also prime time for poetry writing
![]() But normally it's just me at my computer doing something with music playing. Or in the car/bus/train. That seems to be the bulk of my listening.

Except for the forest part (I'm normally on my porch) this is like exactly the same as me. Even the poetry part! ![]() |

I love the few times the kids let my use my stereo for something else than kid�s music. Damn it! It�s my stereo
![]() I mostly listen to music while driving in my car to and from work and while doing the dishes

I'm an audiophile. (no surprise there)
As soon as my missus is out for the evening I'm in the living room listening to metal with a pack of beers, a bottle of whisky and a bag of peanuts.
The finish is piano black as in the first image and the bass alone pushes over 1000 watts.
Luckily we are detached and in any case I'm bigger than the neighbours
![]() Wouldn't you...?

Ahh Steve...you lucky bastard. I used to have a really good stereo too, but we now live in a very small apartment. Four people crammed into 82 m2, so my big speakers had to go.

One of my favourite, though also depending on the music, ways of listening to music is walking in nature. There are three nearby forests that have provided lots of great memories, but I haven't had the time or energy to do this in a while, jobs and gym 'destroy' my legs enough already.
The other ideal way is listening to a vinyl on a quiet day in this room, no hurries anywhere, perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea, not to forget the lyrics if available. Nighttime listening is quite perfect too when going to sleep. This doesn't happen often though, I bet my GF would be pretty annoyed by the music I'd want to listen to via the stereos when sleeping, haha... Most often I listen to music when I'm on computer browsing the net, unfortunately. I rarely put physical CDs on stereo because I've ripped my CDs as FLAC to computer, and computer is more handy. Cassettes and vinyls I prefer to listen to through real players though. |

This. I also do a lot of listening while washing dishes, we usually spin an album every day while my fiancee cooks and I wash. I can't remember the last time I've put on an album, sat down and just listened. Seems I don't have so much time for that anymore, but the bus/train listening is pretty deep sometimes. I kind of miss the days when I worked in a warehouse and was able to really listen to about ten albums a day.

That sounds AWESOME! ![]() Unfortunately, I don't get to hear any music from 7:25 AM -3:00 PM on weekdays. I usually am able to listen to 1 full album on the bus ride, but it really does suck that most days I have such limited listening time. Some days I only get to hear 3 or 4 albums. ![]() |

Yeah, there's not much thought involved in packing car parts into cardboard boxes, it gives plenty of time to concentrate on the music

I like listening to music when I'm lying in bed, right before I go to sleep. It's the most relaxing part of the day.
My least favorite way of listening to music? REALLY LOUD!!!!! Usually this comes in the context of a party or club setting, where the music should be secondary and social interaction/conversation should be more important. I hate having to shout over something to make my voice heard. |

I like variety. That is the whole reason why I enjoy Hard n Heavy in the first place. On a recording Grindcore may be followed by doom metal which is followed by AOR. For example, right now I am listening to Hammerfall's Dragon Lies Bleeding while before that I listened to Tristania's Aphelion. After Hammerfall will be Helloween's Hell Was Made in Heaven.
There are many Metal Operas such as Avantasia, Aina, or Ayreon, but I wish a metal opera which combines different sub-genres of metal. Like an inter-genre metal opera which include death metal, grindcore, happy metal, and nu-metal.

Shit man! You have no idea how lucky you are! School here in Italy is pretty damn hard, and almost everyday I have to study till late at night! I never even have time for 1 album a day! Anyway, I like listening to music in my room in the dark, just like others said. Otherwise, when I go out for a walk with my dog, I put on my gigantic headphones ( the main reason why people that pass by stare at me), and enjoy.

^ Those are quite the headphones! I have Sony, and I'm really happy with them, but I tried the Bose ones once in a Best Buy, and they completely blew me away!
