How much music do you listen to in an average day?

sidewinder · 06-01-2009, 11:20 AM

I listen pretty much all day at work. Meetings may interrupt that, but if I have no meetings, it's usually 5-8 albums a day. Sometimes I take breaks between albums if I'm busy and don't have time to pick the next one, or just need to give my ears a break.

Then I may occasionally play something at home in the evening if I'm not watching TV, but I tend to shuffle at home if I don't know how long I'll be listening. Weekends...maybe a couple albums a day, sometimes none at all. Again, lots of shuffling goes on when I'm unsure how long I'll be listening.

There is enough good music out there to take up an entire day. I personally don't see how anyone could get bored of it.

Anyway, I would say 3-5 hours a day. I listen to more on days when I am not working or out doing something. I've been falling asleep listening to music at night as well.

Every day I struggle to fit in all the albums I intend to listen to. I don't think bored is the right word, maybe tired and needing to give your ears a break, I can understand.

3-5 hours probably depending on what's going on.

I have music going 24/7, however there are times when I"m not in the room to hear so I would say that I listen to about... 10 hours of music a day.

and when i'm out i got my mp3 player on shuffle.

i'd suggest you put it on shuffle if you haven't already. gets less boring if you don't know what's next.

Usually only a couple of hours a day..i used to have to drive 3 hours a day to work and back and loved that time for listening to music, but now im only a 10 minute walk from work so i really miss that time, and once your married with kids spare time can be pretty hard to find.

In my experience, if you can't stand listening to more than x amount of music a day you're clearly not listening to the right music. If I had the chance I would always be listening.

You speak the truth.

It really depends. If im in work or college i might only squeeze in 2 hours when i get home. If i have a day off then i'll listen to music pretty much half the day!
