I listen through them in the background a couple of times first. Then pick a few tracks to "delve" into further.
How do you listen to new music?
Yesterday I stopped in at a local Borders that is closing. They were selling all music at 50% off so I purchased 8 cds. Add these to 3 cds I just received from Amazon and I have a lot of new music to digest.
My normal MO is to load a new cd and listen all the way through. Unless it's a total turn-off I'll listen at least two more times in the next couple days. This gives me a feel for the music and will determine where it goes in my play cycle.
I own 1,000+ cds and own many of them have been listened to only once. There are many Agon members with music collections that make mine seem miniscule. Listening to eleven new cds will take some time and starting this process made me wonder how others listen to newly acquired music.
