Are you an iTunes addict, a YouTube junkie, a Spotify binger, a Last FM hipster, a fogey still attached to the TV, a CD buyer or do you acquire it via other... "means?"
Music - How do you get yours?

It's 2013. Surely we can't still have to be afraid of publicly saying that we acquire our music from tor... *dragged away by authorities*
I buy CD's when I can. Otherwise Youtube and Pandora.
I just Youtube a song whenever I want to listen to it. I dont tend to listen to music when im out and about anymore
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Pandora, Spotify, or nefarious methods.
Youtube or torrents.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Youtube, TV and friends when I'm trying to find new music to listen to but actually acquiring varies. I'm still an old fogey and like collecting CDs though, even if I just turn around and put them on my iPod.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I like vinyl rips and correcting for mastering flaws (due to the fact that the loudness war is basically the worst thing to happen to music since MTV), so I rarely listen to internet radio. If I have money and the material is released on a record label that isn't notorious for screwing its acts and/or customers (so in other words, not an RIAA label or Century Media) then I'll buy it on vinyl (if available; otherwise I'll sometimes buy CDs or tapes). If not then... *cough*
That said, I do love last.fm for other reasons besides its internet radio functionality.
I don't acquire new music very frequently. A lot of what I listen to is stuff that I have had for years.
YouTube for things I don't listen to terribly often.
Amazon for things I really like.
Grooveshark for finding new stuff. It's probably not as good as other similar sites but whatever, it works.
YouTube for stuff I want to try out. Last.fm stations for new pleasant surprises that I otherwise would have not listened to. Torrenting for everything that I actually want.
I refuse to spend money on music with a few exceptions - a) I purchased The Cinnamon Band's Buena Vista EP and Swim by Whispertown 2000 because I was literally unable to acquire these albums by any other means and b) I would like to invest heavily in a vinyl collection once I can acquire a record player. I had a pretty modern one but the speed was all messed up and instead of messing with it I just tossed it because I was moving and didn't want to deal with it at the time.

Spotify is only a fiver a month and has introduced me to more music than a lifetime of speculatively buying music you haven't heard.

hypem, music blogs, last.fm, facebook links from friends.
is the question about how you find NEW music to listen to, or how you get music you WANT to listen to? because most people mentioning torrents seem to think it's the second, and most people talking about spotify seem to think it's the first.
also you guys when will spotify work in canda?
New music I mostly get through recommendations from friends. Which I usually acquire illegally first, then buy if I enjoy it and can afford it, because I am picky about sound quality and want FLAC (which I usually then go on to remaster because most modern recordings are mastered just abysmally)
