    Mostly 5 but I'll buy vinyl at gigs a few times a year.

    A year ago I would have said mostly CD

    Over the last year I've moved more towards downloads, however.............

    Yesterday I bought a new car and it won't have a CD player so I expect that it will be 100% downloads from now on.

  • For bands/albums I really like I buy CD or Vinyl. I like having physical copies. I do still rip every CD to my PC. 

    Quite a few bands I'm into are from places that make it harder to get hold of physical copies at recent prices - so I also often buyand download FLAC versions from Bandcamp.

    For bands that aren't in my top tier I use streaming. I often use streaming anyway rather than the physical copies I bought - just to give bands I want to support an extra payday.

    It is pretty much only streaming for me nowadays. 

    If I've been listening to something a lot and I feel I owe the band some money, I'll buy the CD but it never actually gets opened. 

    I find with some of the stuff I like on small independent labels, the album will have gone out of print very quickly and be unavailable anywhere, even Bandcamp. Then I feel bad that I didn't buy it.

    I'm not sure that payday is the right phrase. I think it's more of a case that you let them buy an occasional 1p sweet!

  • I usually discover music via Spotify - the Release Radar, Discover Weekly or track radio features; If I really like an artist and want to support them I'll generally buy the vinyl (because it's a nicer thing to have), but still listen on Spotify because it's more convenient.

  • Since subscribing to Apple Music for streaming beginning of last year I haven’t bought a single cd or download. I’ll only listen to cd’s occasionally in the car as it doesn’t have bluetooth and the aux function has broken.

    CD.

    I will occasionally download if something really isn't available on CD.

    To date myself even more, I often listen to the radio as well...
