    Who Uses Their Phone for Music?

    I use my phone to stream music to listen to. I use Pandora and I Heart Radio, but I also use a program called Plex to stream music from my library on my desktop to my phone. I had what I consider to be a huge catalog of albums and CD's when CD's were the dominant form of music storage. There are many songs that never get airplay that are some of the best music on the album. Does anyone else use plex or another catalog streaming program?

    Phones play music? Even if mine did, it could not be heard above the machinery. The ring tone cannot even be heard, but the vibrator can be felt if stored in the front pocket.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    If your phone is a smart phone, it will probably have an audio jack that will allow it to be plugged into audio jack on equiptment. That is how I use my phone for music in my car. Had I waited another couple years I could have bought a car stereo with bluetooth that I could have streamed the music. I am actually considering swapping my stereo for a stereo that has bluetooth. I also have a Bose soundwave that will hook to my phone to play music by streaming music from Pandora or my Plex account, I heart radio or The Survival Podcast phone app. You do not have to listen to " your phone".

    I do not use audio streaming like that, but I have a ton of music loaded onto it, and use it as a replacement for the ipod.

    I usually listen to either Pandora or YouTube channels on my phone. I try to pause the music when I'm doing loud things because turning up the volume on earbuds to overcome background noise will really damage your hearing over time.

    I can be lazier than I should be when it comes to getting out the dust mask or knee pads, etc. but I don't mess around when it comes to my eyes and ears.

    Yeah. Gotcha. But I have to tell ya, I turn up the volume on alcohol to drown out background a$$hole noise and it has not seemed to hurt my intolerance to a$$hole noise..... just sayin'. Perhaps you ain't turning it up enough.

    I use Spotify and even made a very modest amount of money trading their stock (Ticker: SPOT). Anyone who owned the stock and was rooting it on may have been saying to themselves, "See SPOT run!"
