In vehicle: android auto or blutooth from my phone.
Computer: I used to play a lot of music from youtube, but haven't for quite a while after starting to watch how to videos or Dust and other short movie channels.
Work: headphones, sometimes earbuds and something those shokz skull vibrating things that let me hear what is going on in the background. Both via blutooth from the phone.
Workshop: I have my 20+ year old receiver/amp with speakers and a subwoofer from my early 20s hooked up and I stream my phone through a Roku plugged into a TV that has component outputs old enough for that receiver. Works surprisingly well!
I should really add some more songs to the phone. I had a limited list I've carried over from an older phone with a lot less storage and there is plenty of room for all my ancient ripped CD tracks, although so many of them are just 'Track 01' or something. Not sure if there is a way to rename them to track titles.

All the time, however I can.
My collection is about 60gb, in mp3s. I have a navidrome server at home, and Tempo app in my phone. In the car, I use a 64gb thumb drive and the car stereo.
I also have about 200 CDs and 500 LPs for when I'm relaxing or cooking or cleaning.

With my ears. Sometimes with my toes but it’s not as enjoyable.

Usually while I'm working I will listen to various lofi playlists and while doing housework I will listen to my favourite songs list or when I'm traveling by train. I do all this with Spotify.

Foobar9000 through iMac speakers, streaming from my NAS. Or using the cheap over ear Superlux headphones I got for listening experiences.

I used to listen to music, but now I only listen to podcasts.
Not sure why but I no longer feel like listening to music.

MP3s on my phone played in the car over Bluetooth. Same MP3s played on my main computer from my NAS or on my stereo though an app that came with the receiver.

Spotify. I know a lot of people here like having thier own collection cough arrr cough, but Spotify makes finding new music from pretty unknown artists too easy.
The weekly Monday and Friday playlists are too amazing

In my car, with my windows down, singing loudly (and fairly good actually)

blasting through a speaker while doing chores.
tiny quiet helmet-mounted speaker while commuting so I can still hear traffic noises
never headphones, never earbuds
but live music is always the best

Personal collection via Plex server and Plexamp either on desktop (speakers/headphones) or my phone (headphones/car stereo)
I actually originally misread this question as "How often do you listen to music" and so the answer to that is, based on my average tracks per year on Last.fm which is roughly around 10,000 per year, I average around 27 tracks a day, which I would guesstimate to be roughly about two hours a day.

Jokes like this make me think that we as humans deserve things like the plague.

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.

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.

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.
