I attend jazz concerts 2 times a month (with a blind friend! Does not stop his music interest though!)
A couple of classic concerts a year.
Then I sing myself a minimum of 1 hour a day. A Choir freak you know...
On the playback front I use ca 35% cd, and 20% radio, 15% music on tv and the rest mp3 on my computer
Then I actually do mixing stuff on my computer, I am a member of a musicprogram developers site.
So I listen to some of others "amateur" music as well. And I am a member of a music collective in norway
a music community sort of like myspace, but focused around the art of making music! It's called "Urørt"
Thousands of members there. So I listen to some of that as well!
I dont use EAC. I use Alcoholsoft's 52% (Version 1.4.7 with a custom build that renders encryption on discs useless...

) discreader program (this is a non sale/ non download version that will read any disc, nothing will stop it.), then I playback the cd's using Foobar. I burn cd's on a Specially hardware prepped LG burner that uses a specially prepped version of Nero
to perform a perfect Redbook burn. This makes the cd's much better!! LG sold this as a package some time back because so many firms were making defunct burners and cd's not really redbook!
The owner of the CD patent did this rather than sue the lot of those who released cd's not redbook, which is a felony...
The Nero program will only work on that particular serial number of THAT drive. But I will burn ANYTHING!
