Radio - e.g. NTS (random)
Deliberate - “I’m going to listen to… right now” (can be premeditated or impulsive)
Inspired - reading a review or EOY-list (or end of decade, 25 years etc.)

Often mixes/radio.
If I hear a song I like from them, or if I’m out - I’ll check it out on discogs, then go down a rabbithole of the producer, muscians involved (esp particular drummers/sax players/etc), label, person who mastered it, collaborators or other relevant links to what I like about it.

I can be quite selective when the Mrs is talking… apparently

Earwoms. No music at work but it’s all going on in my mind.

I bounce between live radio and shows/mixes saved in ‘listen later’. I’ll often listen to Promos while vaccuming. but overall it’s mostly “random discovery mode” with some ‘listen to catalog of label trying to find desired tune’
I don’t listen to music while I’m biking or commuting, I guess I should occasionally, to get a different context.
