I listen to music on my phone these days. It's mainly working for me, although I find it really hard to get music off my phone once it's on there, which I can only think is eventually going to bite me in the ass once my memory runs out.
Wow, that's hardcore. I don't even know how to delete texts off of my phone yet (it's a weird Virgin Mobile smartphone with a not-very-intuitive user interface). Intense learning curve may be in my future.
I listen to music in the car from either the radio or my iPad connected to the car stereo.
I listen to music at home from my laptop connected to a pair of speakers that plug into the headphone jack, or with actual headphones.
On planes, I plug headphones into the iPad.
At other people's homes when I want to play my music for them, I have a portable battery-powered stereo speaker thing (recharges from USB) that can plug into the headphone jack on either the laptop or iPad.
Although I have a smartphone, I don't keep any music on it.
One of my other friends uses a smallish tablet for similar purposes.
What I'm getting from this is that I need to get comfortable with multiple devices. Which would be easier if I were comfortable with iTunes or had found a decent alternative, so that is my first step, I guess. *sweatdrop*
e) In recent years, iTunes has made sharing easier. The simplest way that isn't straight-up burning a playlist to CD is to (if you're on a PC) make a new folder with File Manager, or if you're using a sharing program like DropBox use their native folder structure, grab and drag the songs you want to the folder. Don't worry, this is a copy function. The original songs will stay in iTunes. However, they will not stay in the order you want, you will have to do something arcane like including a track list or numbering the songs with 001, 002 at the start of the track name, but that's file sharing magic, not iTunes lore
