I've got an 16o gig iPod that I still use. Actually, I've also got a bootlegged 500 gig iPod that I sometimes use, but I don't have a protective case to go with it, so I only use it on certain occasions. I also still buy CDs and OCCASSIONALLY records.

Yes, I have playlists that I put together on my iPod. Usually multi-aritst based around a time period or region. Last ones I did were producer-based. Come to think of it, I need to start making more of these.

>3) Do you listen to whole albums often? Mostly new or older?

Yes. Almost always. Both new and older.

>4) How do you discover new music?

Here, friends, Bandcamp, browsing a record store.

The iPod and headphones combo at work. Play my iPod through car during my commute and other drives. Have a home stereo set-up that I bought, jeez, almost 20 years ago. Component stereo with a 200-CD changer.

>any other relevant comments/questions welcome

Don't fox with streaming. I like to feel like I have some sort of ownership of the music I'm playing, whether it's through physical copy or I purchased the mp3. Stuff can disappear from streaming media all the time, and other stuff isn't available. I like to have as much obscure variety available to me when I feel it.
