Audience: How and why do people consume Music?

How do you consume music? 

Most people now, consume music through storing songs on either their phones or Ipods. Due to the abundance of these, and how portable they are, people have access to music all the time, making it one of the most easily accessible form of media around. Songs make small file sizes, allowing lots of them to be stored on phones and they can be streamed now from a wide array of platforms online. Due to the potential audience for music, there is a large variety of genres to suit the tastes of different people. 

I listen to music mostly at home while doing work. I have most of the music I listen to stored on my laptop, either downloaded from Itunes or ripped from CDs. I also like to listen to music while drawing as blocking things out with music helps me focus and think about what I'm doing and I feel it makes me more productive and less easily distracted.
