Thisis just a general question from one who used to listen a lot, in the younger years.
Today, not so much... more like traditional country, favorite classical, and my old favorites... Torme, Sinatra, Brightman, Doris Day and a few of the real old rock and roll groups. Probably ended around the time of the Beach Boys and The Carpenters.
So now, we're looking at the newest from Apple, which brought up the question.
Not so much what's coming, but what your preferences are. Did you, like me, stop at a certain time, and stay with the favorites from your younger days?... Or... maybe you kept up with the latest. The new artists, the new styles, and (ahem)... maybe you find some comfort and intellectual stimulation from rap.
Instead of posting your favorite UTube clips, how would you describe your relationship with music today. Things like, do you listen once, or over and over to the song. Do you follow certain artists? Go to Concerts? download and play? Buy CD's? Save on hard drive? Listen in your car? Music throughout the house... speakers, or maybe headphones? And... do you pay for music? Serius or online per song?
We live a bit apart from younger folks and especially from kids. Have lost track of what is important today in music.
I think it would be interesting and fun to "fill in the blanks" and hear how "we" listen today. Would set up a poll, but wouldn't know where to start. Will you share you feelings, what music means to you, and how you listen?

My Way News - Apple Music brings change to streaming, but is it enough?When Apple launches its Apple Music streaming service at the end of June, it will affect things big and small in the music industry.
Hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users in more than 100 countries will get to try the $10-per-month service for free for the next three months when it is pushed to their devices with a free upgrade.
They'll get unlimited access to tens of millions of songs during the trial, and afterward be required to pay a monthly fee for access, instead of paying for each album or song download.
"It'll change the way you experience music forever," CEO Tim Cook promised Monday at Apple's annual conference for software developers, held in San Francisco.
