In my case, I listen to music downloading it in FLAC on eMule and then playing it through Winamp :D  and I'm planning on buying a iPod classic to listen all of my music without my iPhone (my school banned phones and I don't have mobile data for listening to YT Music :(

I know it’s not the best thing rn but I use spotify.

I’ve been using spotify since 2011 so I have many playlist I don’t want to lose. I know I can export them to other platforms but im used to spotify, I don’t think I could change that soon.

Nah, honestly it's fine IMHO, just use anything you want if it's not harming anyone! :D  I use Windows 10 even if it's from Microsoft, and this is a bit off topic but I'm not changing to Linux because I use programs like FL Studio and Adobe Animate (Flash)

And I used Spotify until my trial ended, now I use YT Music

Personally I stopped using music streaming services since one year now, for few reasons (lack of storage on my phone, tired to buy streaming services, sometimes few tracks disappears from the app without reason, wanted to be less on my phone while working etc)
I have a portable music player (a Sony Walkman NW-A46, I love this device ! :D) I mostly get my music from ripping CDs, buying on Bandcamp or from various sources (crossing the seven seas yarr). I really appreciate listening to music with my music player, it also helped me to be more focus at work

Btw if you plan to get an iPod classic, be sure to be well informed about the topic : between iPods mods, changing the hard drive and battery, compatibility music files problems, the price in second-hands marketplace etc, it’s a real rabbit hole trust me lmao (I was interested to get an iPod classic as music player before, but I gave up ahah)

VLC Media Player for Linux and Android, I download .mid files and pmv's (Poop Music Video, traditionally ytpmv, or YouTube Poop Music Video) and listen to them.

To discover new songs, I usually go to YouTube, however I also listen to MP3 / FLACs / WAVs locally, be it directly from my website or with VLC.
Also, I do own a few CDs and a silver Sony Walkman CD Player.
I also own a few records and a Technics record player, but I rarely use it anymore.

No mobile data on my phone, Spotify sucks, so I'm asking for an iPod Touch 4 for Christmas!

I mainly discover and listen to music through youtube or websites like this archive website. The music player is really nifty and has a good selection.
If I like a music track enough, I download it to my pc and maybe phone.

Mostly I use Spotify and YouTube for just background music when I'm gaming/on my my computer. When I really want to listen to music, I'll play my CDs on my BluRay player. It's an older model from the PS3 Era and has the xmb ui. For portable music, I listen to mp3s on my 3DS.
