How do you listen to your prog?

Being the youngster I am, I'm digital here. With this said, I'm getting to a point where I want to buy vinyl releases of certain albums for the artwork alone.

	I purchase CDs and LPs, but primarily listen to it digitally because of the larger selection and the portability convenience.

	Mostly digitally nowadays. Since my house had a makeover, I haven't found a proper place to install my CD player yet.

	These days it's mostly CD to digital. I'd like to own a turntable one day, though! Edited by PrognosticMind - August 20 2014 at 05:38

	Vinyl, unless it's not available in that format. Then CD, but never MP3 or any other digital format as I find the quality unlistenable. I've just bought a CD player (a Sugden) and it isn't bad at all. Just listened to Seasons End on 180g vinyl (and recorded it on cassette for archive purposes) and it gave me goosebumps, it sounded so good.

	I listen with my ears mostly too, but occasionally I use my gallbladder as that makes the experience even more proggy.

	Mostly digital, sometimes CD. I'm afraid of wearing out my beloved vinyl so they usually just sit on the shelves.

	I don't even have a CD-player anymore but I got tons of CD's. Most of them ripped and shelved. I guess I listen to about 30% vinyl and 70% digital through the same HI-Fi. Both sounding great to my ears. I just don't get how Flac (or 320bit)-rips can be virtually unlistenable for some if the CD's they are ripped from are supposedly OK. I certainly can't hear any difference and it doesn't seem that HI-Fi freaks can either when tested. Streaming-sites such as Spotify on the other hand sounds kind of crappy compared to the same music on physical format. only digital through my Ipod classic when outside of course. Got a portable vinylplayer but only listen to jazz and oldies on 78rpm on it

	Puzzled on the difference between cd and digital. A cd is digital, is it not? Copy a cd onto any other media and it will sound exactly the same, providing of course you use a lossless encoder. 90% of listening time is done in my car on long commutes to work. For storage I use a 180Gb Ipod connected to a head unit via USB. This bypasses the Ipod’s internal DAC, consequently the original cd’s sound exactly the same as the Ipod.
