How many times have you been bombing up and down a motorway listening to the radio, cd or even tape and enjoyed the listening and hearing of it all? The music still grabs me, washes around me via front and back speakers and it is enjoyable. The car system is a Sony. Okay, I know the home dedicated system would replay better but you can, I do, enjoy music from the car system, a Roberts FM portable, or a bedside clock radio Yup, its not Hi Fi but I still enjoy. In another life, another place I was a jazz musician (semi-pro, the money couldn't sustain me and fam) is this why musicians sometimes have very basic systems and still get a good return on listening to music? Nowadays, I pull into the Toddington Service Station M1 to check the boot for illegals if the bass sounds a bit muted, joking about that bit folks

There is a lot of truth in what you say there JB, I also think the mood one is in defines the musical pleasure one receives from a track, and of course it can work the other way too. There are certain tracks which are guaranteed to banish even the worst case of the 'grumps' whatever they are played on, one example being Mr Blue Sky by ELO  |

I learnt a long time ago that it's the message that counts rather more than the messenger. I can enjoy music from any set up you could imagine. Of course, it's nice to hear it well delivered on a realistic sounding hifi system, but if driven to choose between good music delivered badly and no music delivered well, then I'll plump for the shite system every time!

Agreed. The cranes here have wee midi systems in them that'll take usb or 3.5mm Jack in (for phones etc) and while they're nowhere near the best then the pleasure of having a few tunes on when either doing a bit or skiving is immense! |

Likewise I enjoy music on lo-fi. Including lieing on a sunbed listening on in-ear headphones. The step too far for me is one earpiece only...

One earpiece!
I spent a lot of time in lessons at school with a walkman type thing in my inside breast jacket pocket and a mono earpiece wire going through my sleeve. I would lean forward with my hand over my ear and a Rush album or something similar would be squirted in while I (sort of) did my work. That wouldn't work nowadays as I don't have the hair for proper concealment!

The music comes first for sure.
Up the kit and you get more of it of course.
My car system is not that good, but still allows much enjoyment.
Breakfast I am entertained by a Pioneer CD, Arcam Amp and TDL speakers. It does good

I listen to a lot of mp3 music in the car, and you're right, it's very enjoyable. I listen to a lot of music in the office over Spotify, and that's enjoyable, too. When I get home, I often listen again to what I enjoyed earlier on the 'big rig' and I enjoy it even more. Isn't that how it should be?

Its funny on my main system I tend to be a lot more fusier towards its sound whilst the other methods I am more forgiving

I love cranking up my old Alpine car stereo! There's just something about being immersed in the sound sitting in such a confined space.
For long journeys I connect my phone to it and use the Internet radio app I have so there's a pretty much limitless choice of tunes to enjoy...

I've tried Spotify from the phone over bluetooth to the car audio and it works surprisingly well!
