In the highest quality available with an external USB DAC and studio monitors. Usually I listen to music alone; I don’t like blasting music on speakers unless I’m in my car.

Through a few community radio stations. I've long been a volunteer DJ for one in my region. Tune into the shows that I resonate with. Awesome to hear what some actual folks have curated for the week. Discover lots of new music that way and also through research into what I'd like to play on the next show.
WELCOME BACK LISTENERS! This yo boy D-D-D-DJ JOHNNY DEADEYES! We're about to hit you with that twin-spin sound sandwich. Here's Private Eyes by Hall and Oates!

It's seriously a blast to broadcast whatever you like (within community standards). After working in commercial and affiliate public stations, it's refreshing. Think I did play that track once in a set of stalker songs.

My process involves a PC with Arch Linux (btw), .flac files, Strawberry music player, a Fiio K5 Pro DAC, and Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones.

Which DAC‽ You can't just tease me like that.

Navidrome is my goto. Even has apps for iOS and Android, not native though. Don’t ask me where all the mo3s on my server come from, they just appear there.

I'm tried getting into acid, started with small stuff, like citric acid, but when I tried stronger acids it hurt my throat, so I stopped

radio.garden for listening to whichever ad-free stations we can find (usually classical/jazz stations) while at work.
rainwave.cc for when we're at home and just want background music, fitting as it's a site for video game music and covers.
when we have moods where we want to listen to specific songs and albums, youtube.

I have a Jellyfin server with a music library. Mostly listen in the car and sometimes at home.

- Play on VLC (on Android)
I'm not really a song listener, I find movie, tv, or video game, mostly instrumental music, and add them to a folder.
Upload files to cloud and portable ssds for redundancy

Nothing too fancy, just an AudioQuest DragonFly Red. I even have a Lightning to USB-A adaptor just for using it with my iPhone.

I use almost the same setup except I use MX Linux and TruthEar Hexa.

Most often, throw on an album I've listened to recently.
If I'm feeling a specific artist, I open their page and either select one of their albums or shuffle.
If I really don't know, shuffle everything and skip what I don't feel like listening to when it comes on.A bit weird eh? Never got into making playlists either.

A few different ways. Typically in the morning I like to start with my local independent music station (shout out to The Current) since I hate making decisions in the morning and like to see what is new. I also typically listen to them in the car if I am not listening to my NPR new station. I like to see what is new and what concerts are going on nearby.
While I am working I will typically listen to an entire album from start to finish on Spotify. I have a go to artists and I sometimes make an effort to listen an artist I likes entire catalog. I do sometimes just let it play after the album plays to see what comes up. My wife loves a more mixed so I will do their themed playlists and their artist radios. I also do the artist radio if I want to just see what is happening or I have a smaller gap.
We have a record player in our living room. So if we are planning on sitting and doing things in that room we will use that. Its mostly chill and vibe records so we need to be in that mood. We do that more in the fall and winter than the rest of the year since we won't be in that room as often. Its often used around the holidays since we will be just vibing around the house

I use Spotify. I have some Anker Soundcore iP30 ear buds that I got for $25 through Costco. They work well enough. I was thinking about getting an MP3/DAP and managing my own library though. Spotify's recommendations totally suck, but it's so easy to access. However, as of late, I feel that infinite options actually limits my listening, because instead of enjoying it, I'm always looking to what's next because it may be better.
I'm curious why you think Spotify's recommendations suck. You kind of have to train the algorithm first, but I've found lots of awesome bands I would never have heard of otherwise via the Discover Weekly playlist.

I like to listen to albums. I learned a long time ago that the best tracks are usually not the singles, or if they are, it's not really an artist I'll listen to.
