We call them "DJs without headphones" in Poland. They're [1] obnoxious in public transport. Now, I often considered speaking up, but figured out that if they're such a retard to do this, they probably won't listen and it could end up badly.
[1] Or maybe had been, seems they're on decline. Albeit when powerful BT speakers were all the rage (like JBL Flip), they were overused in public spaces as well.
If there's any possibility of somebody (e.g. a barista) overhearing me asking my phone to identify a song, I won't do it. Perhaps I'm excessively bashful, but I would find it embarrassing.
Being stuck on the subway several times a week with 1 or more people playing bass dependent music/game audio through their phone speakers... shoot me now.

Well, if you do it once (to set an album or playlist or single song to play), nobody cares. If you talk to cue every song to be played, sure you'll annoy someone.
whoaa .. wasn't expecting all this. I just download songs to put in my android phone for running. Though I doubt your salty words. Mostly a bunch of drunk people in a crowded party want to dance and have fun. I am sorry that you had to spend a lot of money 'buying in'. But I think the point of a DJ is to play music to a crowd, get them to have fun and dance..
I just don't listen to the radio outside of the news and talk shows. We do have a college station that's pretty good most of the time, but it's not always my kind of music. I don't have access to a computer per se, but I've got one in my pocket. I just didn't have my headphones charged because I'll go through periods where I don't even want to listen to my own music and these bone conduction headphones don't have good enough quality to understand a podcast.
These two coworkers, actually, are excellent. I love working with them. Just their music choice for work is horrible. I'm pretty lucky that the only things I have to complain about here are the hours and background music.
There is no way to tell the difference in a subway station, even for an instrument as loud as a violin. Moreover, no one goes to the subway to listen to music.
I know I'm not the target market for bars and nightclubs but I've always hated just how loud the DJ's play the music. What is the point of going to a social atmosphere when you can barely even talk to someone without shouting? Who actually enjoys ear splitting music?
