CD & MP3/FLAC is the best. Vinyl and cassette are horrible mediums, not sure why they have a surge in popularity - I guess it's due to aesthetics. Streaming is nice for convience but I'd prefer if we went back to a time where owning music was the norm.

Cassette or FLAC for me. Vinyl is cozy for a big room but consumes too much space, so I get my warm analog fix from cassettes.

@scarbyte I like cassettes because it takes away any temptation to song-skip. Forces me to just enjoy an album as a complete work of art. And yeah I just like how tape quality has a different character than digital (I go lossless when listening digital tho)

I'm not an audiophile, so aside from the Youtube streams that murder the quality to the point that even I can tell, I stick with streaming when I don't care what song I listen to within a genre, and vinyl for at home listening. Does take up space, but those bins at target are perfect, and everything still fits in one. I do like owning music and having backups. I'll usually buy something and then go on Soulseek.

CD and MP3s (especially on MP3 players) for me. FLACs when I rip CDs.

personally i like having a buncha mp3s n shit and i play them all the time, although when it comes to streaming i only stream music through sites that just kinda have in-browser players like bandcamp and archive.org, i will use adblocked youtube if the music just isn't anywhere else. i feel like streaming and having audio files are like a personal preference thing, if someone just prefers streaming then that's fine

mp3 on the computer, vinyl at my camp, was cd in my car but that's now usb sticks of mp3s, which is my me favourite way to mix tape.

also a lot of radio, which wasn't one of your options

Oh right, radio. I sort of fell out of favor with that in the late 90s when my favorite station went off the air, and I also got my first MP3 player with a cassette adapter. Then I moved to MP3 CDs in my car until my phone could connect via Bluetooth.

CD for physical (best sound most of the times, more economical), MP3 and WACUP for albums that I don't have, streaming if i just want something on background.

CDs if they exist, .flac for stuff I DJ or is just ~rare~ and might prove useful to have lossless someday, .mp3 for the rest.

MP3 (though I usually prefer Ogg or FLAC). I have a rule that I only pay for music if paying for it allows me to download it. Radio is nice too sometimes.

I prefer CD. I wouldn't say that CD sounds better than vinyl, it doesn't...but, CDs can last forever if you take good care of them. And I find it nicer to have a physical copy of an album I like instead of listening online. There's just something about flipping through the CD book while listening to a song. That's just my personal opinion though. I also like that there's no adds ;p

I believe Vinyl has better longevity. Many of my CD-Rs are degrading pretty bad, and while retail CDs are probably better, I can't see them going too far. But they're digitial, and easy to back up, so you could make new ones fairly easily.
