Best Way to Listen to Music

[Juggz]

Every ipod I ever had will charge off a dumb USB port.

230V running through you will open up the back door, with unpleasant consequences.

Also, Woodies are doing two switched double sockets with three USB ports for €16 at the moment.

brown should be earth, blue live, yellow-green for neutral, just something that's bugged me over the years

Every ipod I ever had will charge off a dumb USB port.

Neither of mine will.

Four pages in and no one yet has given the right answer. With your fucking ears.

I do agree CD is underappreciated. Crispy with very little in the way of limitations.

CD's sound great until they get scratched or skip when you're driving on a bumpy road.

Just as an aside, what's the battery like on wireless headphones? Been avoiding them as I hate the idea of having more stuff that that can run out of power when I'm out listening to music

I was also put off by the same thought for a while, but this has never been an issue for me. And if the battery ever did run out of power, you can still plug them in with the provided 3.5mm cable and use them just like a regular pair of headphones

CDs were somewhat hostile when they first arrived there was a real antempt to take over from ever other format even though cassettes and records were long established. Digital music means streaming more than CDs now and the thing about streaming I find is that I will generally use it to search and check out new music more than anything else which I enjoy doing but then I am constantly looking at new things and only listening very breifly.

I have a stereo set up which is all second hand that I'd like to change and then I think if I get some headphones and a dap that I can also plug in to the stereo it would be basically records and downloaded music for me. I don't think I can return to tapes and I have still never fully warmed to CDs even though they accumulate. Listening to headphones at work might be possible although it is a noisy environment the other thing is to sit down and give whatever it is your full attention and not just have it as something going on in the background. Not to mention live music.
