Default How do we listen???

With the new album out, and reviews coming in, I'm curious about how we all listen to music. Not just SR music, but listening overall.

What's your favorite way of listening to music? Do you have a particular player? Do you prefer speakers over headphones, or vice versa? Is there a specific room you like, or arrangement of furniture, or even how you like to settle yourself for listening? (Lying down, sitting down, etc.)

For myself, with a long commute to work (45-60 minutes each way), the car is where I have the most opportunity to listen. So it's CDs in the car, which has a nice bass that rattles the mirrors. But my preferred way is to stick the CDs in the BD-player at home and listen through the stereo Bose speakers hooked up to the TV.

I only choose headphones if it's late at night or if I don't want to bother anybody. But I think it's a subpar method. I think music is meant to play in an open space where the sound can travel.
