A interesting topic!
I believe that people do listen in different ways.............Personally , I have a very good ear for the detail in the music ......but, I have developed that from looking into sound reproduction..........This is a kind of disease and can be an expensive one...............I listen to much the timbre of a particular instrument ...........the environment it is in................how the instrument has been recorded.................how the sound has been processed..................I like to listen and pick out what instruments are playing together and how they are interacting.
However, to me it does depend upon how the music is being reproduced ..........and that can be the expensive part! I am always surprised how many people don't really notice anything about the quality of the system they are listening through...................I think it is only possible to be able to get a good result out .......if a good source has been put in and the system used to get it out uses good quality components that are well matched .......................I am often surprised how many people are quite happy with mp3 standard quality.......................but, then have difficulty when asked what instrument they were listening to are what contribution a particular instrument/player are making to the overall sound ..............There is so much in this topic ...................but many people often don't realise how much hey are missing

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
