In general, about half of Polish respondents in 2018 preferred to be in charge of the music they listened to. This changed with age - 87 percent of the youngest respondents chose their own music, whereas 61 percent of the oldest respondents were more likely to listen to whatever music was played around them.

* Original question (Polish): "Czy na ogół: sam(a) Pan(i) wybiera i puszcza sobie konkretną muzykę / słucha Pan(i) tego, co puszcza ktoś inny lub co akurat nadawane jest w radiu?". Translation: "Generally, do you: pick and play your own specific music / listen to whatever somebody else is playing or what happens to be playing on the radio?".
