I mainly use headphones. I put (some of) my albums on my iPod and use it to listen to them. I listen to a lot of single tracks, but sometimes whole albums (especially Diary and A Night at the Opera). Music tends to be in the background, but sometimes I sit down and listen to it without distractions. That's usually when I listen to a new album and I want to get the full experience. Lyrics are important, but I rarely catch them all (sometimes I read the album booklet while listening for the first time), so the musical quality is just as important.
