How do you usually listen to music?

Alexa in the kitchen? A treasured CD or vinyl collection? Spotify or Amazon? An ancient portable radio? The latest downloads through fancy Bluetooth speakers?

I was reminded I’ve been neglecting my Amazon playlists when I was watching Clarkson’s Farm and ELO’s ‘Alright’ was used as background music. I’d forgotten just how much I loved the Zoom album back in the day with George Harrison and Ringi Starr guesting. Guess what I’m listening to now? 😂

Never mind how easy it is to just ask Alexa to play Radio 2 or Classic FM. I must not neglect my old playlists!

How do you choose what you want to listen to?

Taking delivery today of an Echo Dot - watch this space!

I was given an Echo Dot for Christmas after my faithful old kitchen radio gave up the ghost. I love it and thought I was being really clever when I paired it with my Soundcore speaker. They started arguing with eachother! I’d turn off one and the other would start playing. It even picked up my neighbour’s door bell. 😂

My own door bell is on the blink so watch this space!

Mostly on the computer, I have a very good Mac Sound-wise. And as I need to rest a lot my computer comes into the bedroom with me!

U tube caters for my very eclectic tastes, I am considering paying them for ad-free access but haven't found out how much it costs.

Especially as I can get U tube on the TV - if this also can be ad-free a good investment?

I find Classic FM too many ads and the choice of "music to meet a mood" doesnt work out with their style.

Its a treat to find rarely on BBC 4 live orchestra like last Sunday from Vienna but I came upon it accidentally.

I'm in a digital radio dead spot, I was so happy when the Echo devices came out. I listen to Magic Classical and Boom radio on Alexa in my kitchen.
