I personally buy each song on iTunes. I like to buy, not rent.
What do you use to listen to music?

Deezer. Smaller than Spotify, but pays their artists better, and has an even better range of music.
Streams music on my phone, laptop or TV

If I want to actually own a recording, I buy the cd. I don't trust Apple. But, I mainly use Spotify.

Pandora via Sonos in the house as background music. Apple Music on my iPhone with when working out / walking. I haven't purchased music in years - I just "rent". I don't seek out specific songs or albums, just artists, then create "stations". My favorite "station" at the moment is a combo of Dua Lipa and John Newman.

I have a pandora station that I have been building /curating since 2005 or so. I listen to that exclusively at home and I have a 2018 Sony Walkman that I have mp3s loaded on because I hate having music on my phone. I use Samsung Galaxy pro earbuds.

CDs, Vinyl and occasionally Amazon Music.

Do you say "vinyls"?

I used Napster from a long time ago to set up a few hundred music-education playlists, so I've kept them in the app's current setup.
I also have Amazon Music, a pile of older stuff on iTunes, and finally pitched all the cds except some hard-to-find things. Records I kept (collectors' albums) are in storage. Still have a collection of extremely vintage 78s in storage.

I stream music from my iTunes library through iTunes Match. Every so often I’ll subscribe to Apple Music or anywhere else there’s an offer. But I’m picky about my music and like to listen to what…well, I like.

Over the course of several months, I uploaded my music collection to my computer, and subsequently, my phone. So, my phone.

I jumped to ITunes store as soon as the first iPod Touch came out.
Apple took away my old yahoo account music and never gave it back.

I'm still listening to CD. I value the sound quality, and it is hard to break habits.
I'd struggle to use the technology to download music.

I was a Spotify guy for years because of the Discord integration, not to mention that I was able to get 2+ years of premium thru EBay for $5. The sound quality was good! I also have a good quality turntable and a heirloom record collection. And I enjoy picking up new records when I have extra money. I now use Apple Music with my HomePod mini since my old speakers flooded and it sounds incredible! I don’t even miss my old speakers, a small fabric small sounds nearly as good. And the lossless Apple Music sounds impeccable.

I’ve tried others but Spotify wins every time.

I kept all of my cds over the years but I mainly listen to my YT playlists (with an ad blocker).
Some cds aren't on YT or they've been taken down due to copyright issues.
I wish Sound Cloud was listed which is my back up place to YT..

I used to use a CD carrousel many years ago, but eventually I extracted all the .wav files from my CDs and keep all the music on hard drive. I use Plex to organize and play them. I occasionally buy new songs from iTunes or Amazon and likewise store the MP3s or M4As. If I want to hear something I don’t own, I ask Alexa to play it from Amazon. Usually my request will be included with Prime.

Mostly internet radio. Lots of stations and genres. I use Sonos speakers and the TuneIn app.
Also I like DIFM ("digital FM") and just exploring music on Youtube.

Spotify (free). Though I use a hack on Windows to block all the ads on there, so it's like having a premium subscription.

Over the past 10+ years, I've ripped most of my CDs to iTunes on a series of hard drives, and that's what I listen to 90% of the time. I clicked "CDs" in the poll. I spend so much time at my computer, and my Bowers & Wilkins computer speakers sound so good, this has become my favorite listening method of all time.
Otherwise, I listen to songs on YouTube, and turn on my 30-year-old FM radio to listen to classical when I go to bed.

I don't have CDs like Elton John's Greatest Hits where you can instantaneously download the titles. With my CDs, I'd have to TYPE IN every song title. Screw that.

I still buy on iTunes too. People laugh and I figure it's because I'm old, but it works for me. I like to "own" as well. I'll put on Pandora for background music sometimes.

I buy mp3 from Amazon (usually using credits earned by selecting delayed shipping options when buying merchandise) and then those mp3s go into my iTunes library. I also like to buy, not rent. I have over 10K songs in my itunes library. Some are apple's protected (locked) format, but most mp3 files. I listen to these files at home, from my computer to a sonos system all over my house. I listen in the car, via apple CarPlay from my phone. Love it.
