Same thing here. I have these lulls in the evenings where I have nothing to do for 20 minutes at a time. I'd go stir crazy.

Me too but honestly I think I would be far more productive if I couldn't, lol. Not only can it be a distraction while listening and working, but it makes me research other music while I'm listening. Something I'm listening to may remind me of something else, so I'll look it up. It may be my first listen to a particular artist, and if I'm loving it I may research a bit of their history, or what album to get next, or want to talk about it on various message boards (this last thing is most often the case). So as you can see, listening causes many other distractions. Sometimes I really want to take a break and not listen to music at work for a week or two, see how things go. I'm sure it would help. But should I really deny myself the joy of music? I mean, it's my passion. Problem is, I care more about it than I do work. And in the long run, that's not good at all. If only I could find a job that pays me to research and listen to music...

I have my iPod every chance I get. I basically call it my best friend, lame I know. The only time I take it out is when I'm in class, but even then I still end up listening to it. I listen to the radio in someone roses car, don't really give a **** what music is playing, I think it's rude to have your headphones in. It probably gets close to 5-6 hours weekday, 7-8 weekend.

Current Statistics:

Monday-Friday- 6-9 hours. Depending on what albums I've got on hand.

Saturday- 8 at least.

Sunday- 1-2 hours. Work hinders my musical enjoyment.

Probably 2-4 hours on avg daily.

An hour. I prefer quality to quantity.

A lot less than I used to, as in probably only one or two hours daily. I don't really get a lot of time to myself anymore for various reasons.

LOL. I wouldn't even think of putting on headphones while riding in the car with someone...unless you're a kid on a family trip with your parents.

Rude doesn't even begin to describe something like that.

Reminds of all the kids I see all the time walking around with their friends, with headphones on.
