Guest Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 We are all doing it wrong... This was from a "survey" at work. Decent sample size...too bad more people choose not to listen to music over the vinylz. Apparently engineers/folks in the microprocessor manufacturing business aren't into physical media. It makes me chuckle knowing how much we all spend on records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrice55 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Those 250 people who said they don't listen to music should be put on every kind of criminal watch list available... Seriously, 3 of them are most likely serial killers... homework 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 We are the 1.59%... Seriously though, I can totally understand people not listening to music, it just surprised me that more people choose that over my preferred medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What a terribly arranged survey. The first four choices all overlap. Of course, nobody listens to physical media any more; I think we all know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yeah, I thought the same thing, but ultimately this was just a quick pick deal on the homepage of our employee portal, not a proper statistical survey. Yes you're right, I knew that people didn't do physical media nowadays, but this was the first time I have seen "real" numbers tied to it. For example, if we did the same exact survey here it would be unanimous for vinyl right? I thought it was interesting for what it was.

Shitty Rambo Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yet it's impossible for most of us to get an RSD ATDI 2xLP. Am I to understand passive music consumers are flipping records to the 1.59% or is 0.79% fucking over the other 0.79%? Do people who hang records on walls consider themselves a part of the minority? Too many unanswered questions. I must lay down. homework, controlthebleeding, almightyseancore and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'd say there is a good mix of passive music consumers AND record nerds flipping, based on what I have seen so far. Good call on the wall hangers...are they the ones who "don't listen to music"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the long run, I almost always listen to the accompanying digital download more than I spin the record. I have way more listening time in transit, or at the office, than I do at home.

In seriousness though, they put a record player in a car on Pimp My Ride one time. homework 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm surprised that many people still listen to the radio. Aside from NPR, there is very little remotely good radio stations out there. Zero of my friends listen to the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I don't trust people who get their music from the radio. I have so much more respect for people who seek music out. I've found so much good stuff just from clicking on random threads on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero of my friends listen to the radio. we have a great non profit station here in saint louis called KDHX. local DJs volunteering their time to play their own shows. tune in at any given time and hear classic punk, hardcore, industrial/electronica, metal/goth, classic country, blues, jazz, poetry discussions, local concert calenders, etc. it's a wonderful station. pretty sure you can stream it online, too. literally the only radio i still listen to. it's fucking great.
