1) When you listen to music at home, what format is your content stored in these days?
Most of my music is MP3 format or XM radio. I listen to mostly XM at home. Really, I watch TV a lot more, and that is all DVR or from my hard drives.

4) When listening to Music where you listen the most, what percentage is on each type of audio system? (please include any comments as well)
100% - Stereo audio system (2 ch.) - Both in the car and at the office I listen on stereo speakers.
0% - Home Theater system (5.1, 7.1, etc.) - But, if I'm listening at home (not one of my top picks) then I listen on any number of systems.
0% - Portable dock (ex: iPod dock)
0% - Headphones (ex: MP3 player)
0% - Tabletop radio or music system
5) Having thought about how you listen – what’s missing, or what would you like to improve?
I would like a better player for all of it. An iPodesque device which truly has storage (200GB+) for uncompressed audio, and designed to allow for a nice GUI, etc. Digital is the way to go, but the iPod is only the best player up to a certain point.
