Although I’m an analyst/programmer, I’ve been building/repairing PCs/laptops etc since 2000. Plenty of PCs have been seen with music collections way over 1000 tracks but far less laptops. The way we listen to music has changed – as IT students in the late 90s, it was cool to work with a music CD in the drive and ear phones (from the £ shop, I suspect!). Now, as others have pointed out, iPods etc are the way to go. Just remember folks, whatever PC/laptop you have yr music on, please make sure it is backed up! I’ve lost count of the number of people who have lost valuable pics & music due to hdd failures.

I am a music loving and spent almost my spare time with nice music.I also love to listen with my laptop speakers but not all places.I have a iPod having really good sound so at some crowded places i prefer to use my ipod rather that laptop.

I do most of my music listening on my laptop. I actually the like the sound of my laptop’s speakers and they aren’t even top of the line. I’m the anti-audiophile. I’m all about lo-fi hehe.

I listen to music radio (on ‘listen again’) through my laptop when I’m using my cross-trainer. The laptop is portable, I don’t want to have to move peripherals to use it properly but I’d love it if it had better sound. Recommendations for my next laptop would be nice.

Of course, I made sure i got decent speaker when I nought my Toshiba Sattelite laptop Harmon Kardon, MP3 Music Videos & DVDs.
It is my away from home music system. But I must admit I also have a set of speakers from LG that came with the ‘SHINE’ which can be charged via USB port, which can at times give a welcome boost.

Can’t cope with headphones and laptop speakers are good for beeps. When away from home (ie, abroad) I use a flatpacking stereo pair plugging into headphone socket. Just the job for medium fi.

Occasionally, but I would point out that my current 15-inch MacBook Pro is the first laptop I’ve ever owned that has anything approaching decent sound.

My much-loved Cube (not a laptop, I know) has those little Harman Kardon ball speakers which were stellar, and I’ve been generally very impressed with the speakers built into the aluminium iMacs.

Having just been on holiday, though, my love for Logitech’s Pure-Fi Anywhere speaker dock for iPhone/iPod. It comes with UK and European plugs, sounds superb, has a built in battery that meant we could take it to the table outside our gîte to listen to music as we ate our breakfast, and it meant my iPhone was charged every morning. (I left my laptop at home this time!)

Now, wasn’t that fascinating?

All the time – it’s a Gateway laptop (US version), the speakers are not ‘hi-fi’ but perfectly adequate especially while travelling. Headphones? My ears ache after about an hour and I’ve tried many makes both over-the-ear and ear canal types.
Besides why carry yet more cables to tangle with all the stuff in your case (as they do, are they alive?)

Yes, why not ? (admittedly they are not good).

I sometimes listen to music on my Acer Aspire 5920, the quality is OK, but its the flexibility that really adds to the appeal.
