My favorite software is XenForo, and the forum I would love to have instead of my current forum software which is MyBB as well. I would love to have it, it is sleek, professional, and has all the basic needs any forum should have on it, built right into the program!
I guess I would go with phpbb or smf because I don't want to pay for forum software and honestly I don't even like Xenforo or VBulliten very much at all. My favorite is mybb by far.
I honestly just made the switch to XenForo because I love it so much I prefer it over everything. But for members that cannot afford it, I still recommend MyBB.
How do you get your music: through streaming services such as Spotify, MP3s or through CD?
I use Google Music All-Access myself, a streaming service that associates with my Google account. It's the same price as Spotify Premium ($9.99/mo), and it's less glitchy on my rooted Nook Color (CyanogenMod 9/Android 4). For example, Spotify would say some songs are downloaded when they really were not.
I go with good old MP3s, because the only time I'd be able to use a streaming service would be when I have wireless. My phones 3G is just too bad to try and stream music ... So it's easier to just keep mp3s on all my devices so I have music everywhere.
