By that definition, I almost never actively listen to music. I do passively listen quite a bit, however. I'm one of those people that probably can't tell the difference between a good MP3 or a CD. I do think that vinyl has a unique sound, but I wonder if I am up for the Pepsi challenge on that one too.
On that tag, the type of music I would choose to actively or passively listen to probably differs too. -So in that case, the medium could be changing our tastes in music. I've seen tests where audiofiles couldn't tell the difference between music sent over very expensive Monster cables compared to wire hangers. Having some physics knowledge, it's easy to understand why. There must be some independent tests regarding these different formats, hopefully informed by some knowledge of our auditory anatomy. I'm curious now. I'll try to find what I can.
