Scores Hardly Get Old, What To Play Music On

Hello there,  I have neglected my blog again.

I listen to so much music, and I have been strayed away from listening to single tracks from albums that I have added to my playlist of favorites. I am building  playlists on Google Play that I have shared publicly of what I believe is the best music in films, video games, and trailers. When listening to a film score, though, I believe that it should be enjoyed all together. I am starting to play entire albums, which is more time consuming (especially when you have a complete score) but it is worth it.

I have stopped listening to music with lyrics almost completely. Songs in scores like Frozen are still part of what I continue to listen to. Music with lyrics can get old very fast, but scores hardly get old. This is all my opinion on things, and though all people are different, not all may agree with me. What is your opinion on scores vs. lyrical music?

What do you use to listen to music? It could be a phone, tablet, computer, mp3 player, etc. I usually listen to music on my Dell Venue 7 Android tablet ($149.99 at the most, running version 4.3) playing through the HMDX JAM Bluetooth speaker ($49.99 at the most). , I bought it so that I could access my music in the cloud in a more portable fashion. When I am working on things, I use my computer (some Lenovo desktop dinosaur running Windows 8.1).

Now, Android vs Apple has brought up the question: Which one should I buy?
If you are buying it for music, I would suggest Android. Android is able to play basically any music format (I don't know which formats it can't play) AND you can add more music with an external Micro SD card (Most devices running Android support it).

I have found some fantastic mp3 players from two different companies. One is called Astell&Kern, the other is Fiio. You can see their products below. Although they are quite pricey, so I suggest an Android tablet if you are on a budget. These truly are the best portable music players you probably can find.

Astell&Kern AK120 Portable High-Fidelity Audio System - $1,299.00







The AK240 by Astell&Kern has 256GB of internal storage with support for a 128GB Micro SD card. The X5 by Fiio has dual Micro SD card slots that support up to 128GB each, and the company said it will increase with each firmware update.
