Garage
In my garage I have my wife's really old iPad and I listen to Pandora over the WiFi through some computer speakers with a sub woofer. It really sounds pretty good. Plenty loud enough that if ZZ Top's La Grange or Deep Purple's live version of Highway Star comes on my wife will yell at me to turn it down from inside the house.

At my home office, at my computer where I spend most of my day listening to Pandora through higher end computer speakers with a sub woofer. I only get to crank in up when she is gone. But it sounds great.

I do have a multimedia amps hooked to Boston Acoustics speakers and a surround sound system and when I watch TV movies I enjoy the surround sound. I can use it to play CDs or listen to the cable TV music channel.

I really like Pandora. They have learned my music choices and I have it on deep cuts, so it throws out songs I don't own and enjoy.

In both cars II have head units that play a USB thumb drive with minimum compression, maximum quality MP3s of my collection of 140 CDs. They both play at random so I may get the Moody Blues, or Metallica. If I don't want to hear a particular song, pole a button and it goes to the next song.

Both cars are noisy enough that is more than good enough for rock and roll.

In the living room we have a nice surround sound system. But my wife never wants to crank up the volume to get the full experience of the surround sound. It is cool to hear a car go past from left to right on right between the room and off into the distance. If the wife is gone, I get to have fun listing to it.
