... what are u doing ? Do you just sit and listen or do you feel the need to make something else (internets/games/books/TV... ). At the opposite, do you like putting music when you are doing something else ? The best moment for music is when i decide to go to bed, cause I keep listening to the album that is playing while lying on my bed, then sometimes I put another one til I feel asleep. This way I am really enjoying music cause I'm more concentrated on it, though I may be a bit tired. I can't really do that during the day : I can't really sit and just listen, or I become bored quickly, even if the music is great. =$ |

I listen to it when I go to sleep, when I'm drriving, when I get drressed... basically when I have something else to do. It's not often I sit with the intention of just listening to an album. |

I usually listen music when I do my homeworks or when I'm using my pc. Yes, also listening music before going to bed is great too, but when I'm too tired I fall in sleep enough soon. |

95% of the time, when i'm on my computer... that's one of the reasons why i use my computer so much (even when i don't really have anything special to do). i used to listen to music at night with all lights out, laying on my bed with my headphones on... but i stopped doing that, even though it was the best way to enjoy it i guess. |

Normally I listen while doing something else, whether it's "working" at the computer, at my job, or using transport or waiting somewhere. Sometimes I just listen alone but I prefer having some sort of visual to go along w/ it. |

on my cd player driving in my car. on my discman while taking public transit. at home either: while on the computer, playing videogames or even watching tv. videogames i'll only keep just videogame sound if the soundtrack is good or it's essential to the game. listening to music while watching tv is a habit i started recently, which i should probably stop. i'd say i rarely just listen to music on it's own... unless i'm high |

Internet, mostly. Boards, wiki, articles, etc. I rarely JUST listen to music... certain magical albums can transfix me and make me sit there slackjawed, but they're few and far between. I can't fall asleep to music. I will not fall asleep. I also have trouble reading when listening to music, and this really sucks... I can read messageboards and internet articles, stuff I don't have to follow long-term. But I can't read novels or longer stories or anything that I really need to develop a mental visual of. My eyes jump all over the page and my mind can't focus on the story if it's being stimulated by the music, no matter how mellow. As a result, I don't read as much as I'd like... I can't bear to have no music on. I'm pretty sure this contributed to my academic problems. I haven't had a decent study at home since 11th grade. :_-( |

I know you don't like ambient, but that the kind of music you CAN fall asleep too, and for that purpose it's top stuff. |

I listen to tons of ambient but I could never fall asleep to it, ever. About the only sound I can fall asleep to is slow, plot driven movies kind of mumbling in the background. |

I can't read writtings that need reflexion to be understood when I listen to music neither, but I can read mbs, articles on the net and comics |

I listen to music all the time it is possible for me, but the albums I really enjoy I need to listen actively lots of times by doing nothing else and just concentrating on the sound here how I do this: 1. use a good soundsystem or quality headphones 2. make sure the room you are in is in an agreeable temperature.. not to hot, not to cold 3. remove the batteries of the house bell or take out a cable 4. in case their is neighbours or any other external factors which could disturb you during the session, don't even start it 5. all pets must leave the room before the launch of the music 6. any kind of consumer goods have to be used before starting 7. make sure your head is situated as centralised as possible in between the speakers 8. inform other people in the house about what you are doing! 9. close all the windows and lock the doors 10. switch of your mobile phone 11. install yourself very comfortably, best lying, all muscles must be relaxed 12. a non completed listening session is not a listening session! stay until the end! |

Depends on the kind of music in question. Poppy stuff is fair game for background music/other activities. When it's stuff you know has depth beyond the immediate surface, then I usually listen to it on its own. Although, sometimes even listening to crappy radio hits on their own will have interesting results. You start picking up on all kinds of subtle tones and feelings the creators may or may not have intended. I prefer CD/tape/MD to mp3 though. I find myself getting the infamous 'musical ADD' when I listen to mp3s on the computer. It's too easy to click on something else. Plus, it's all homogenized into one samey-looking textual playlist and you don't get the sense that the music is actually coming from different sources. It all ends up being this commodified sound product constantly bleeding out of the speakers. This is exacerbated by 'shuffle' functions. |

I used tot have that ADD problem, but I overcame it... it's not that hard to train yourself to load up a playlist and just let it go. I became a much happier person. Although I guess I listen to more boring songs than ever now. |
