How Do You Obtain Your Musical Diet These Days?

Do you still buy CDs? Do you rather download and listen online? Do you listen on YouTube or elsewhere? Or do you obtain your musical "nutrition" in some other way?

Please share your ideas about and the ways you obtain your music in these times where the CD is gradually losing its popularity as the primary medium of listening to music.

Go to concerts when I have time, Spotify when I don't.

I don't think music is a necessity so much as an addiction; if it all stopped tomorrow, it would not be a catastrophe.

When it's possible, I go to concerts here, but they are very scarce...

I have tons of music files in my computer and many CDs. Some times I just stop everything and listen to some of them. Youtube is also a great place for me to give some breaks from my life^^

Less often, I also play music on my piano :P

For me, listening to music is essential for my life!

I have a ridiculous number of old CDs that I really need to put on my laptop before it dies and laptops no longer come with CD drives.  For anything that I don't have a copy of, I find it on youtube.  We still have a few really good independent radio stations here that play interesting new, small bands and obscure old blues.  

I used to use newsgroups e.g. easynews.com, where you have hundreds of musical categories that people upload to. You can browse "American Folk," for example, and download two or three selections of each known or unknown artist. Try to download about 200 songs in an evening and if you're lucky you may find an artist that from then on you will be devoted to. then you can buy the CD.

I used to go to Tower Records where they had listening stations in every row. Newsgroups are the online equivalent to that. Now I youtube, where I don't know what I'll find. Or you can go to Pandora.com where you can plug in a band that you like and it will spit out others that are similar. It is amazingly accurate. I don't know about plugging in esoteric artists. Radio pretty much sucks.

Spotify has now been my main source for music as of late. I am now actually paying for premium subscription so I have access to almost all the recorded music on my phone now. I still go to concerts quiet often, when Im not participating in them, and I still buy CDs and music off iTunes. But Spotify is my main source of music now. Even my professors in my school use spotify as a means for our listening exams or musical examples. 

Spotify for sure! And, I go to concerts in my college town. I don't really use any other method.

Mostly youtube these days, and even with that, there's a huge backlog.

Spotify mostly, and youtube because sometimes you can't find a particular performance/performer on Spotify. There are also concerts at local music schools packed with newer student compositions, though I go less often than I probably should...

youtube, youtube, youtube, sometimes blogs and also the piano.

and my friends use spotify

There's something about HOLDING it in my hands; I like to buy CD's, and generally only if I can hand the $20 to the guy who actually made it.

Spotify is neat, but Taylor is kinda right about the whole scrafty royalties paid issue.  I still use it, but feel kinda bad...just kinda.

Another thing I happily forked out for was a Qello subscription. Not sure if the available genres will appeal to a lot of you, but there's a ton of amazing and obscure stuff on there....

Youtube.  I also use Amazon's music service.  With prime, you get free access to a lot of music including a decent classical selection.

Well I just bought all LvB's piano sonatas (two books' worth of sheet music), so I won't be getting a balanced musical diet anytime soon, but it will still be damn tasty..
:P

YouTube, mostly. And Wikipedia. 

I do lots of reading on Wikipedia about pieces and composers and all of that, and inevitably will come across some person or work that I'm unfamiliar with, and it may lead to a Google search, etc. Granted, lots of it may be stuff that everyone else already knows about, but via YouTube channels like Hexameron and Unsung Composers (too lazy to link) I've found some really wonderful works (either directly as a result of their page, or did a search for it and they had it). The following come to mind, that may or may not have been from those channels:

Felix Weingartner's first symphony, Cyril Scott's first symphony, Hans Rott's only symphony; Julius Reubke's piano sonata, Frank Bridge's piano sonata, Leo Ornstein's fourth piano sonata, the piano works of Samuil Feinberg and Nikolai Roslavets, Ernst van Dohnanyi's piano concertos, as well as those of Catoire, Winding, Thalberg.

Lots of YouTube.
