When at home 90% is vinyl and 2-3 weekdays but 6-9 a day at the weekend.
When going into to work about an hour sometimes two a day streaming. For some reason don't always want to listen going in on the bus, perhaps because on that journey I am considering the day ahead and the bus is usually fairly empty. Going home its also to keep the racket of kids and others out.
Good idea for a separate thread. My Discogs shows 21 items added in the past month - most well under a fiver. I suspect you're rather more discerning with your purchases!
Given this, I've started two parallel operations on the vinyl collection:
- removing records I never listen to because I don't like the music
- recording to 24/48 WAV the records I like which I don't have on the NAS
I go in phases - when I start the vinyl, I use nothing else for a week, and then slip back to streaming when I want to listen to something I don’t physically have.
I’m lucky, work from home and semi retired anyway so a couple of records and a couple of CDs with the Leak and about 6 hours streaming with the Genelecs per day.
I listen almost every day, mostly in the evening. On school nights, it's a couple of albums via CD or Tidal. In the weekends, I'd enjoy between two and four LPs per session. So I'd say 50/50 is vinyl.
Recently I am listening to a lot more vinyl, probably about 50% with the rest being CD rips or downloads stored locally. Prior to getting my LP12 upgraded it would have been slightly under 25% listening to vinyl. It does vary from week to week, depending on whether I have bought new music as LPs, CDs or downloads from Bandcamp.
Being retired definitely allows you to fit in more listening to music and in my case I would say well over 60% of my listening is to music released since the millennium.
If I am sitting down to listen to an album it will be vinyl unless it is an album I don't have on vinyl (or my pressing is not that great).
Listen to digital (Roon - combination of local hard drive and Tidal) for discovery of new music and for when I am not sitting to listen in detail (e.g. when I am reading, cooking, talking etc). Probably 30+ hours a week of digital.
