@asklemmy How do you listen to music / podcasts? At what places?
For me, I mostly listen on podcasts during my drive or commuting on the train, via bluebooth earphones even in my car.
When doing deep work such as #programming on the computer, I listened to music out loud (bluetooth speaker) in my home office.
Share your favourite apps, channels or even gadgets in your audio experience.

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
- Treat the first line of the post as the heading (as that’s what lemmy does).
- So keep it clean and avoid putting ats or hashtags in the first line as they’ll create links that make it look messy
- 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.
- 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
I had no clue until I clicked a hashtag
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.
Also using Antennapod. It’s a fantastic piece of Foss. It does have its problems but it’s still great.
AntennaPod is amazing and open source. While I have no problem with manual refreshing it bothers me that the only way to add podcasts is to switch to the dedicated panel via menu otherwise great app
This, also their Android auto interface is atrocious.
Yeah, trying to select something else from the queue doesn’t work
I have a 70 gig iTunes library and still use clickwheel iPods. Primarily in my car
70 GB? Those are rookie numbers.
I know. It’s about 8000 songs. I work off of a 900 song playlist in my car.
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
@small44 while eating I watch YouTube or browse Lemmy
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
I use PodcastAddict on my phone. Anywhere. In bed, walking, on the train…
so cool to see a mstdn post on Lemmy
- 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
I used to listen while commuting, but since now I work from home, I tend to listen while doing the dishes.
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.
@bebboIsTalking Wonder why you planning to cancel Spotify, what will you replace it with?
I no longer like that kind of music consumption model. I’ve noticed that I prefer to listen to the same album multiple times, and I think the “all-you-can-eat” model is detrimental to the artists. I prefer to support the artists directly, if possible, through services like Bandcamp. If I urgently need to listen to a specific song, I can use YouTube or tolerate the advertisements.
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).
PocketCasts but lately more AntennaPod for Podcasts
Plex(amp) and Spotify for music
Mostly at home, during work. Sometimes when walking to the store. I play it from my Jellyfin server (though only streaming when I access it via Android or the TV, from my computer I directly access the SMB share), the music itself is 90% from Bandcamp. I have a simple but decent Logitech 5.1 system.
When we sit on the balcony, then my wife usually streams from Spotify or Deezer or whatever streaming service she uses ;) She also uses those for podcasts, something I have no interest in at all.
Music at home and sometimes at the office. Podcasts while commuting.
