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

midnight rain · 08-02-2009, 03:14 PM

I normally aim to listen to at least one new album a day (and by new, I mean an album I've never heard before). Beside that, I listen to music whenever I'm doing something else (on the computer, homework, in the car, etc.).

Lately i've been averaging two to three albums after work depending on how tired / attentive I am... been buying / downloading alot of music in recent months so there is much good stuff to discover!

Y'know, in response to your buying/downloading part of your post, I know that I usually work my way through my actual buys first before I give my downloads a listen. It's kinda nice that way, as then I have some nice surprises that I (momentarily) forgot about. I think I do it this way in case there is anything wrong with my actual purchased stuff,(especially if it's used or what-not).

It really depends on what I'm up to, but I guess about 4 hours a day is normal. i love music but sometimes I really enjoy silence too.

Yeah you're right... sometimes jsut a touch of silence is absolutely everything you need!

ALWAYS, except right after sex when I have take a goddamned piss. But even then I can usually hear it back in the room. Workin on getting a sound box for my bathroom.word.

We just had our bathroom rebuilt and I feel sorry I didn't integrate a nice soundsystem right away. Now I have to fool around with an iPod and speakers which never play loud enough when I sit in the jacuzzi. I know...how can I live like that? I barely manage...

When I'm going to Uni, about 6 or so hours a day. On holidays, if I'm not going out or doing anything, I can sometimes double that.

Above average listening time today, owing to the fact I did alot of driving around with music playing in the car... good stuff!
