@asklemmy How do you listen to music / podcasts? At what places?

So you're posting to lemmy form mastodon ... that's awesome! (genuinely).

There are a few little formatting things you can do to make it work slightly better however ...

You can see what your post looks like here: lemmy.ml/post/2253666

1. Treat the first line of the post as the heading (as that's what lemmy does).
2. So keep it clean and avoid putting ats or hashtags in the first line as they'll create links that make it look messy
3. Otherwise, make sure to keep the lemmy community as the first at-tag in the post (eg @ asklemmy @ lemmy.ml). Lemmy will only use the first one.
4. Besides that, you can at-tag anyone else you like and use hashtags, just as you have here, as much as you like.

If it's at all helpful, here's a quick demo of posting to lemmy from mastodon, with more posts in the thread to illustrate how it can all work together: https://hachyderm.io/users/maegul/statuses/110483509521476095

For podcasts I use AntennaPod and quite like it. There are some issues with the auto fetching of new episodes though and I need to refresh it manually.

I have a 70 gig iTunes library and still use clickwheel iPods. Primarily in my car

I hear Podcast mainly at work. I have a no brain, just work job, so i can hear about 3 Podcast on one Shift. I loved Antennapod, but 2 of my favorite Podcasts are Spotify Exclusives, so i switched to Spotify, wich i only use for Podcast. My Music Streaming App is YouTube Music, because i am YouTube Premium User. I simply hate Adds!

I use AntennaPod for podcast

While working, eating and, running. I'm using Musicolet to listen to music because it allows to swith between song queues without losing the position of the last tracks

I use PodcastAddict on my phone. Anywhere. In bed, walking, on the train...

• Music: Spotify
• Podcasts: Pocket Casts

Podcasts in the car to and from work, and while at work (WordPress Developer) with wireless earbuds. I listen to music when I've gotten through my feed of podcasts or when reading a book. Lofi and classical are both great for listening while reading, but while coding I prefer high energy music like math rock or metalcore/mathcore.

Some of my top recommended podcasts:

• The Last Podcast on the Left
• My Favorite Murder
• Dungeons & Daddies
• Buried Bones
• Hardcore History
• My Brother My Brother and Me
• Oh No Ross & Carrie
• Ologies
• Sawbones
• Search Engine
• Spooked
• The Wild

so cool to see a mstdn post on Lemmy

PocketCasts but lately more AntennaPod for Podcasts

Plex(amp) and Spotify for music

I listen to podcasts when I go to work or walk my dog. I use Overcast as an app, and I think it's great.

I work with music for a living, and I have to say that I do not listen to a lot of music, especially because I need an optimal listening setup to fully appreciate it. Currently, I use Spotify, but I think I will cancel my annual subscription when it expires.

@techconsulnerd @asklemmy first time im seeing someone post on Lemmy from mastodon. Wonder if they can see my comment??

To answer your question: Spotify and wherever I feel like it. Mostly on my commute though

I sometimes get to listen at work. I use AntennaPod but it's queue system is garbage. I only use it for it's RSS and local folder options (music folder in my podcast player).

I used to listen while commuting, but since now I work from home, I tend to listen while doing the dishes.

I use Spotify and my Navidrome/Substreamer setup for music. Apple Podcasts for podcasts. I tried Spotify for simplicity but the amount of ads offended me, especially given I have Premium.

Mainly work and driving for music, work for podcasts. Sometimes music at home but rarely for any extended period and if I do, it’s usually a record.

i listen to music on my drives to anywhere, and most of the day at work. i sometimes listen to podcasts near the end of my work day

Podcasts while working at construction using earbuds and podcast republic app

Music 8 hrs straight at work.

Audiobooks for about a half hour before bed

I work remotely, so listening mainly from my monitor's speakers during work. After work, I recently bought a really small DAP made by shanling, and as an output I use a JBL small bluetooth speaker or oneplus buds Z2 (I bought them on sale and it was a great purchase). My music collection is a bit large (~2TB) so on my DAP I have ~100gb and it is more than enough. If I need something from my collection, I just transfer it from my pc.

I don't really like podcasts, but I use the same DAP for audiobooks sometimes.

Music at home and sometimes at the office. Podcasts while commuting.

i use spotify, on my browser while i'm in the office and using spicetify while i'm home. on my phone i'll use xmanager. i'll use headphones if i'm in the office but my monitor's or phone's speakers at home. i listen to podcasts all the time, either that or video essays. my favourites are stuff on true crime and video games.

Mainly when I'm running as it keeps me more mindful of my pace/effort and while commuting to dull the pain.

Music: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it's basic but it does what I need from it.

Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that's gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don't listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.

@techconsulnerd @asklemmy headphones on, anytime, anywhere.
