How do you listen to your music?

Hello, currently I used Pro Amp to listen to my music via bluetooth. But today I purchased a valentine one with android connection which requires bluetooth to connect. I learned that you cannot have both devices connected to the phone at the same time. I just wanted to get your input on how you guys listen to your music.
I understand there is aux cable option, but my headphone jack is a little jacked up.

CD's, Bluetooth from the Android music player, and sometimes Pandora by bluetooth but it's so damn repetitious that I lose it pretty quickly.

I use power amp on my s3 over bluetooth on the stock HU & it works well (stock pioneer unit is good if you let the phone's much better eq do the equalization & flatten the HU eq).

Much more out-of-the-way than hooking my phone up through aux & having to navigate the music on the phone instead of pause/play/next/previous being controlled on the HU.

I used to use the USB port but the non gapless playback was killing me so I just went back to using poweramp on my phone via bluetooth.

I use Xiia Radio from the Android PlayStore which automatically starts playing when I start the car and stops playing upon leaving. Another cool feature I like is the Next Track and Prev Track buttons on the stock stereo can be used to switch between radio stations in my favorites list.
