This is a good idea for a thread.
Does it happens to someone to don't like a song you love because isn't played with the exact metrics in your "head"?
Yes, very much so. I like music, but my music selection is actually quite limited, and I only occasionally add new music to my "rotation". I never really go looking for music, so a lot of it is discovered through other media, in particular video games. Sometimes the songs play into what's happening on screen which can have an effect on how I perceive the song. There are some songs I'm sure I wouldn't like as much if I had heard them at a café.
Do you like live performances or studio version?
Studio. I've been to a few life concerts, and they can be fun, but the sound quality is
never as good as listening to the recording. There are a few reasons for this.
1. A recording is always the best attempt at a song. They tend not to contain any mistakes or imperfections, as that is the version people will listen to most often. I get that some people might like imperfections because they make the sound feel more
real, but to be honest, it mostly annoys me.
2. The acoustics are better. When you are at a concert hall, there are other people around, you are located some distance from the speakers and the stage setup can affect the sound quality. At home, you can use good quality headphones to give you good surround sound with high level audio mixing.
3. Concerts tend to be more uncomfortable than listening at home. The music is often ear piercingly loud (to be fair, most of those concerts were for metal or heavy metal bands), and you need to either stand up or sit in a chair with loads of people around.
That being said, I don't regret going to the concerts, as it can be impressive to see the skill of the band members on full display, but the music experience will always be best at home or on a walk.
When you search some music on the web, do you listen the first version found or do you search for your "personal" version?
Personal, absolutely. I'm not fond of covers unless those are what I discovered first (and then I often don't like the original as much). I straight up won't listen to the music if it's not the version I know for the most part. The only exception is if I haven't listened much to the first version as my opinion on the song hasn't "hardened" yet.
Do you like listening "your music files" or turning on "your favorite" radio station?
I never listen to the radio or watch TV. For the most part, I listen to albums. The two types I listen to are albums by specific artists (in which case, I'll listen to their entire discography in order, including the worse albums) and video game soundtracks (in which case, I'll listen to the whole soundtrack, even the "bad" or more environmental songs, with one exception). Skipping things just feels "wrong". I do also listen to singles, but that's mostly when I'm at home and are in a specific mood, like "sad" or "exuberant".
I don't have it noted down anywhere, but in my head, I have a list of songs I will listen to and won't stray away from it. I tend to listen to little known artists (a lot of them from games), so most of you here probably haven't heard about the vast, vast majority of songs and artists I listen to.
