Robert Smith of The Cure still listens to music in a not so old fashioned way -- on an iPod.
Smith appeared on the BBC’s Sidetracked With Annie and Nick podcast and revealed that he doesn’t “stream music on principle and never have.” He'll buy the vinyl for new albums or dip into his iPod collection to revisit eras like ’70s disco after a “couple of beers.”
Smith explained, “I’ve got playlists, iPods. I’ve got loads and loads of different iPods with stickers on them so I know in the dark which one’s gonna play which. So, they’ve all got stuff on them which suits my mood. There’s so much music I’ve got -- not in a nostalgic way, but stuff that I can not just move about to but also means something to me, reminds me of a lot of times and people."
