Nowadays, young musical consumption is influenced by mass media and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which approach them to a new musical proposal through radio, TV, and Internet. This aspect is related to the informal musical learning that young people acquire, which determine the influence in their formal education. Thus, this research presents an analysis of musical consumption from a sample of 530 undergraduate students from the Universidad Autonoma de Chihuahua (UACH, Mexico) using a culturally adapted version of the questionnaire "Cultural habits and practices in Spain" ("Hábitos y prácticas culturales en España", Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, 2003). Results show that radio and television are the most common media for listening to music everyday, and demonstrate an increasing use of Internet to download and listen to music.
