This research aimed to study the taste of music consumption among the M.A students of Ilam University based on the qualitative paradigm and using thematic analysis. The semi-structured interview tool was used for data collection and the Brown and Clark (2006) model was used for analysis. The target population includes all M.A students of Human Sciences at Ilam University in the last 9 months of 2018 that were 25 people. In this study, a sampling was targeted that finally saturation obtained with 11 samples. In the process of theme analysis, 17 sub themes and 4 main themes were identified and defined. The findings showed that the results of this study presented its special pattern and show the cultural context and musical context- in particular the auditory background as the shaper of their consumption tastes. As students’ consumption music that has already been heard at the family, family parties, friendly parties and hangouts. Therefore, auditory background can be a product of the cultural context of family, friends and relatives. Overall, the taste of music consumption of the studied students is influenced by the cultural context- in particular the quality of study, knowledge and awareness, as well as the musical context and, in particular, their auditory background. The poor and infirm cultural context of the people has created a poor musical background, which in turn has led to the fluidity of the musical tastes. According to Bourdieu, it can be claimed that musical tastes, in turn, reproduce the cultural and musical context.
