I love your responses Rich, I have had ringing in my ears for years, but when I am out music helps. I do use public transport from time to time as buses are still fairly cheaper on some routes than driving.
I went a bit old school and found a torrent site many are still working. I managed to download complete and fit on Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot studio albums, a box set of the Bay City Rollers and complete 38 Special.
I am hoping Molly Hatchet does make a stop in the UK next year they are doing a tour in Germany later in the year.

I love my iPod Touch 7th Generation, it sounds perfect on most of my headphones, is smaller than iPhones and lets me slip it into a pocket and barely notice it. I've no idea why they are seen as old fashioned or why they stopped doing them. Also perfect for catching up on old radio shows on BBC Sounds, as I write I'm listening to Gary Davies Sounds of the 80's from 15th February that I missed, before it drops off later tonight. I still like actually downloading individual pieces of music. I listen to the thing more than ever. It has a warning if sound levels are too high. I've been a heavy user of headphones fro 40 years and my hearing is fine although in a quiet room I do get a ringing in the ears but I think many people get that to some degree, and blood pressure may play a part in that too.
What type of MP3 player did you get out of interest?
On a previous media forum I was once a member of years ago you would have got into serious bother for resurrecting a 19 year old thread! I never understood why it should matter.

I had re-read this thread, I bought an MP3 player from Argos last week. I find it more practical than using a phone to listen to stream songs. I don't see many around these days but not everything I like is on Spotify.
I was amazed to hear that people still download torrents, do ISPS still send out letters?
