I am a music lover, so I listen to music everyday. During school days, I must listen to music when I am studying or revising my school work at home. My mother was really against it, she even confiscated my radio and walkman during my exam times. Now, I still cannot live without music. I listen to music when I am driving, or when I am taking a public transport, when surfing the net, when cooking in the kitchen, when ironing clothes, when exercising or just for relaxation. My hubby on the other hand, don't like to listen to music when he is doing other activities. He said that he cannot concentrate fully on his activities with all the background music. To him, listen to music is really purely listen to music. He will switch on his favourite music or songs, sits at our sofa, closes his eyes and really listen to the music or songs. I must say that due to his busy schedule, he don't often really get to sit down and listen to his music or songs. What about you guys, do you or can you listen to music when you are doing something???

Yes I can. Right now, I listening music via MP3 while write posting in my lot. Some times I also listening radio when in bed room before sleep happy [srikandi19]
Me too, me too..... When I was pregnant, I remembered I played classical music every night when I am going to sleep. Now, as I always stay up late doing myLot, I am always very tired by the time I go to bed. So, I am always fast asleep by the count of 10.....hahaha..... Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
I actually find music very relaxing and sometimes it helps me concentrate more at what I am doing. I guess it varies from person to person. I can listen to music all day and do many things at once and Im not affected. Some people I know actually get mad when there is other noise around them when they are trying to do something. When i am in my car I usually listen to my music pretty loud and it helps keep me alert when I wake up early to drive to school and then later on if Im driving at night. [easyflow90]
I find it very pleasant and enjoyable to drive and listen to your favourite music or songs. Normally, I will sing or move my body together with the music or songs. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
When I was still a student (many years ago lols!), I'd love to study with my walkman on my ears or I can watch tv and still study. Well its kinda habit of mine to do studying that way. But unlike my son now, he wants to be quiet while studying and don't wanna be disturbed very opposite from what I did back my school days era. [SummerChick]
For people who cannot tolerate nosiy background when working on something like my mother or my hubby, they cannot understand how we managed to study and memerise notes when we are listening to music. But to me, I would prefer to have some background music when I am doing my things. Happy myLotting =)) [thhoon72]
Hello thhoon72 this is checkmail and yes I was used to listen to music while doing my work.I used to listen to music mostly while keeping my home clean, also during studies too.Basically we do listen to music if palyed by others even if we are doing any works.Though recently i have stopped listening to music while doing my works. [checkmail]
Hello checkmail, how are you? Thanks for your response. Just out of curiosity, why have you stop listening to music while doing your works recently?? [thhoon72]
As for me, I also could not live without music and it has been part of my day to day routine to listen to music. Whenever I am taking a shower, reading a book, or finishing up some paper works and especially when I drive, I make sure to it that music is within my reach. We once made a research on the effect of music towards studying. The outcome of the study is that it would vary from person to person when they study, but usually music cannot alter the result of the exam. Some people cannot tolerate the presence of music during their activities. But I don't think there is something wrong with it. So, what do you think, guys? [janzelaine12]
Hello there, thanks for your response. I guess listening to music while doing activities is really up to individual preferences and what notion they give to listen to music. Some think that it is part of our daily life just like you and me, some think that it is only for relaxation while other see it as noise pollution. [thhoon72]
Yes you can add me on to your list, but not when driving. While studying or doing any indoor activities or while travelling but not while driving. Safety is a must for our self and for others. Our passion should not harm others. Yes music is life. meapas. [meapas]
Warning noted. Don't worry, buddy, I will drive with extra care. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
I really love listening music, and when I am doing something I always make sure that I am listening with some music, it gave me more energy and I never felt tired. [brienn]
Oh yes, especially if it is your favourite music or songs, I will sing or move my body together with it. I just love listening to music =)) [thhoon72]
I am also a bit of an audiophile myself. I actually find myself spending too much money buying music online ;P Anyway, I do find myself listening to music while doing just about everything. Playing games, doing homework, or even sleeping! (I find it helps with sleeping because it helps me relax by giving me something to concentrate on). Only problem is that I have to supply myself with my own stream of music. I don't like radio because, simply put, I have much different tastes. Most stuff on American radio is rap, rock, or country, but I've yet to hear a station provide dance or DnB music. [xmc2wx]
Hmmm... I also don't really like listening to radio station cos there are just too many advertisements and conversation. I only listen to radio station in the morning cos my alarm is a radio alarm clock that will switch on the radio when it is 6am to wake me up. Other then that it will be a compilation of all my favourite songs. Thanks for your response. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
i am a 100% music lover. i can do everything while listening music. eating, fishing, playing, writing, cooking all everything but..... when i read or drive my bike then i never listen music. it may break my concentration. thanks. [shibham]
I think it would be very difficult to listen to music while riding a motorbike. Both my hubby and I have tried with this special radio and earpiece for motorbike riders but we think that the radio receiving was not very clear. So, we gave up in the end. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
I love music. I listen music everyday and i also listen music when i m doing some home work. Music is gr8 time pass it can also help us to get rid from loneliness. I listen to music when i surfing the net. Now i m listening music too. [Amarinder]
Me too, me too =)) I totally agree that music helps us to get rid of our loneliness. I must say that I feel especially lively when I listen to music while doing my activivtes. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
Hi thhoon72!!!! I am a music lover also ,here in our office we used to have music and it can't be bother in our work.. because music makes us relax. [xchyler]
Oh, it is so good that you can play music in your office. Listening to music while working will helps to keep stress level down and makes you relax. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
Of course yo can! Music is life. I listen to music every time. I listen in the bus, school recess, lunch, and many more. I can't really live without music. They serve as energy when doing something( that's for me) and keeps you in mood. When I clean my house, I use music so I can have a beat. [defcon505]
I love music a lot as well. I listen to it all the time. While am doing chores around the house I listen to loud music and this gives more strength to do it. When am cleaning my room or organising my wardrobe I listen to music and dance at the same time. Much more, whilst browsing the net I also listen to soft music just to keep me company...lol [babymimi05]
Hahaha.... I am very similar to you. I will suddenly just dance when I lsitened to my favourite dance tune. I love music and I love dancing and singing as well =)) [thhoon72]
If I can then I am always listening to music. I doesn't matter what I'm doing I love to hear the music in the back ground. Whether I'm reading, studying, messing on the computer or even watching tv I have always perfered that I hear music in the background. It keeps me calm and it's very soothing to me. [allie4712]
Music indeed has many effect on peopl. It can have calming effect (to you), it can give people energy, make people relax, move people to tears or make people dance, etc.... I just love music!!! [thhoon72]
well it depends. when i was still studying studying is studying. now, if it is just plain routine work in the house it's no big deal for me if music is just in the background. [Ritchelle]
Yes, I guess if it is routine houseworks, I would prefer to play some music in the background so that it is not so boring just cleaning and mopping and sweeping and.... [thhoon72]
I agree completely with you...I'm a student as well at uni and it's very rare for me to go into a lecture hall without my ipod in my pocket... i keep one earphone out as you should've assumed...Becasue I'm at a military academy it leaves me with alot of other crap like cleaning, ironing, washing etc... and if i had to do those things without it i think i'd find alot of the smaller things alot more strenuous.... [ontherails]
Hey, welcome to myLot =)) Yes yes, especially you are doing all those boring things like cleaning, washing, ironing and attending lectures. I think I will be bored to death without some music to accompany me. Take care and cheers >o< [thhoon72]
hi i too listen to music a lot.... there are times when you don't listen to music for a long time then you find life kinda dull, it is a completely different thing if you are busy with some important thing but otherwise i can't stay much time without music... i too study along with listening to music... the only thing is that i don't much conentrate on the lyrics when i am studying, otherwise studying becomes very difficult... at other times i very much concentrate on the song that i am listening to, i try to catch and beat and air drum, and sometimes i fantasize that i am on the stage and playing the song live as a band, i play drums and so i like to think that way, music is a big part of my life and i honestly don't know how life would be if music is removed from this world....i bet a lot of music lovers doubt the same....infact i do mylot while listening to music [voldrox]
Hello there, I totally agree that the world will not be the same without music. It is so cool of you to play drum >o< I can't play any musical instrument at all. So, I am always full of envy when I see people playing musical instruments. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
I love music. I listen music everyday and sometimes every now and then in my cell phone or I pod. I can do things while listening to music.. I always turn my music player on while Mylotting ..Right now,I am listening to music too. It helps me getting rid of monotonousness and boredom. I also listen to it while I am on road driving or walking. [tuyakiki]
Oh yes, I really need to listen to some music especially I am driving alone in the car or taking the public transport. Cos it is so lonely and boring. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
Well, I can listen to music and do any job without any disturbance, I do not feel the load of the work too that way, listening to music makes me feel happy and light. My husband likes to music only when he is driving or relaxing at home. He is not able to concentrate on any other work with music. [yogambal_64]
Your husband is quite similar to my husband. He don't like to listen to music while doing other things. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
yes i love to listen good music all the time , cooking or working on pc [nirjaagrey]
Fo rme, when I listen to music while doing my other activities especially household chores, it makes it not so boring and time pass very fast also. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
yes, I do like to listen to music, yes I can listen to music even as I do my everyday chores. I sing to the music when I'm doing the laundry. Or even when I'm off to bed, I oftentimes leave the music on here on my pc and the computer is set to turn off after a certain time. Even now as I write this I listen to music, right now, I'm playing Michael Jackson tunes, music is part of my life and I enjoy it well enough [chaime]
Yes, I will always sing or even move my body together with my favourite songs or music. But I don't listen to music when I fo to bed, cos I am a fast sleeper....will fall asleep straight waya when I hit the bed....hahaha....ZZzzzz... [thhoon72]
yes i do listen 2 music wen evr am doin sme work..ppl say dat its a kind of distraction but only sme can do dat!!!! [maverick_tarun]
Yes yes, not all people can concentrate on their activites while listening to music. They think that is noise pollution....just like my hubby. [thhoon72]
Yes, i can. I love music & always have. I turn my radio on every morning & it stays on sometimes till i go to bed at night. I watch very little tv. I have one favorite station that plays country music oldies & i love it. have a great day. [ANTIQUELADY]
iT'S A SAHME SHE REACTS TO THE RADIO THAT WAY. hE COULD be doing alot worse things. At least he is home w/her & for thet she should be thankful. [ANTIQUELADY]
I too have the music on all the time,, if not,, news or a couple of children shows I like, Drivine,, cooking ,,whatever,, Specially when eating,, It helps me enjoy and digest the food [kawalnarang]
Hmmm.... you are the only one that say music helps you to digest the food. Think now I recall that I also read something similar many years back. That is why almost all the restaurants play background music to relax the customers and also to help them enjoy and digest the food. [thhoon72]
I can't get through the day without listening to music. I'm always cleaning and doing lots of things in a day. I guess somepeople just can't do it. Multi-task!!! [cbugs02903]
I always need to listen to some music especially when I am doing the routine houseworks.... guess it helps me to complete the houseworks faster without realising it. Happy myLotting =)) [thhoon72]
well ican say this to yhe whole world that music completes me and my life.i love classical hindi songs which refreshes my mind.moreover,even while studying, i love to hear songs in light volume so that my mind always get refreshed and this thing has really helped me to come out in my exams with flying colours.have a nice day [ravirai8616561]
Oh wow, that is good to hear from you. I can't say that previously I passed my exam with flying colours. But i still passed them if not my mum is going to kill me....hahaha....maybe banned me from listening to music when studying. [thhoon72]
I love music and i listen music all time on day.but my mum don't allow for me listen when i'm driving [khoadang1990]
Yes, indeed many people think that listening to music while driving is dangerous cos it will make you less aware of the surrounding traffic and sound. [thhoon72]
Yes.I wish to listen music when i work in my computer , eat, mylotting, checking mails. Even when i play games i like to hear music.Music everywhere is what i like. [rlaknar]
Hello there, looks like music is part of your life just like me. Thanks for your response =)) [thhoon72]
NO, I listen to music only when I'm in a relaxed mood.. Scientifically also ... when you are listening to music its difficult for your brain to concentrate on something else Specially in terms of study.. some people say that it is easier to study with some music in background.. but I just can't do that.. [aravindkrd]
Different people will react differently to music. For me, my brain will just automatically shut the music off when I tried to remember some notes when I study. Then when I am done, the music will automatically flow to my ears again. That is the wonder of our body!!! [thhoon72]
Yes music is a part of our daily life and it is in our home most of the time, no matter what we are doing, if people come to visit we just turn it down. [savypat]
How nice to have music in the house most of the time. The first 2 persons to complain will be my hubby and my mum. Think they really lack some gene to appreciate music in the body. [thhoon72]
Yes i do listening in music, if ever i have to do something, like washing clothes, washing dishes, cleaning the house, some computer works, because i love music, since i was a child i like to sing and listen to music in any kind of music, and even my neighbors really love music, they listen always and become a happy street and full of life and stress free. [Preciousgem]
It looks like you got some nice and wonderful neighbours. In fact, I would like to imagine my neighbourhood filled with music and laughters. But, guess it is very difficult cos I live in an apartment and everyone keep their doors shut. Happy myLotting =)) [thhoon72]
I listen to music 24/7! I can't imagine not having my ipod around me everyday. When I study, I also HAVE to listen to music. It is the only thing that will get me to focus. But, it usually has to be some kind of classical music, or just acoustic indie sounding music if I am writing a paper. Having music in the background during my everyday routines just makes my life much more enjoyable. All in all, life's a song! [britster246]
Yes yes, totally agree that life will be more enjoyable with music!!! Although, I don't listen to music 24/7, I think that many activities will be so boring without listening to music. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
Yes i can listen while doin other things. At school, doing home work, cleaning, walking, riding in the car, or even reading. Music is like my crack. With out it i go crazy. Its calming when i need it to be and hype when i need it to be.i feel like soometimes music is the only thing that understands me. Othe times it give me advice in some way or another. No matter what i do you can always find my ipod charged and in my ears. I even listen to it while i am sleep. If the ipod is dead then i am not to far from my mp3 player, or a radio, or the computer, or the tv. Where ever i go music is sure to follow. I also find myself perrforming more task properly when i am listening to music. [brownbeauty7539]
I think music really makes my life more interesting and lively. On the other hand, it can relax and destress me too. I really need to play some music especially if I am doing my boring houseworks or when I am driving alone. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
i listen to music whilst chilling out or relaxing on my computer or with friends, but i cant listen if i need to concentrate such as studying or working. it is distracting as i like to sing haha [Nic7389]
Muisc have different effect on different people. Some people can concentrate better when listening to music while other prefer it to be silent for better concentration. But no matter what, we cannot deny that music is very important to us. It can help us to relax, destress, have a calming effect, make us lively, take away our loneliness, etc etc.... [thhoon72]
Although I like music I rarely put it on unless I am driving. I like to drive with music! I don't have an ipod so when I drive alone I can either use cds or Radio, but if my boyfriend is in the car we play his ipod. He is a big music fan so I am quite often listening to music because of him. For some reason I always just tend to put the television on for noise, I like having something to watch too. [Gorjess]
I also must listen to music when I drive especially if I am driving alone. Cannot stand the quietness and loneliness of driving without music. [thhoon72]
I love listening to music while doing things. Unfortunately my ipod broke but I would make a playlist and play it on low while doing school work. Most teacher oppose it but I think it helps me focus rather then distracting me. I need to buy a new ipod. [kidswanttechn0]
In my country, teachers definitely would not allow students to listen to their mp3 or ipod in the classroom. But I guess for the older students like in college or university, I don't think lecturers will actually mind cos the lecture hall is too big to even notice that the student is plugging in the ipod in one ear. Beside, some of us really can concentrate and learn better with music. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
of course we can. i always listen to music when i am studying or doing something else. my mum says nothing about it. because she knows that i can do it well.ha!but once time, however,a psychology professor said that nobody can do it well. [sherrycai]
Your mum is so open-minded. Now, being a mum myself, I let my girls used their mp3 freely as long as they finish and revise their schoolworks. Cos, I think that listening to music got more positive effect on them. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
I love music as well. I'm used to listen to music when i'm driving, surfing the internet, doing some housework, but i never listen to music when i'm studying or working because i need to concentrate on it [kanecn]
Hello there, thanks for you response. It is a matter of personal preference whether you would want to listen to music when you are concentrating on studying or working. For me, I would definitetly prefer some background music in the office place. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
Actually yes, I do listen to music occasionally while I'm doing certain things like surfing the net, or while I'm drawing or creating, I find that listening to music keeps me relaxed and it dose help me stay motivated becuse it helps to put me in a good mood, and its not as distracting as watching TV can be, though I must say I'm not so sure that listening to a radio or Walkman while studying for exams is such a good idea lol, but I defintly understand your love of music.happy [apples99]
Hmm.... I think so far I received a 50 - 50 opinion on listening to music while studying. Some myLotters said that they can concentrate better while other said that they prefer no noice/music while studying. It is all up to personal preference. But no matter what, I can say that all myLotters who responsed to this topic so far love music in some way or another. [thhoon72]
I love music when driving or doing chores. I can't listen and study though I know people who can. I wish I could have it would have made studying more interesting. :) [kcoregon]
When I am studying and listening to music, my mind just automatically switches off the music when I am trying to remember some notes, then when it is done, the mind just opens itself to the music again. Guess this is the wonder of human mind =)) [thhoon72]
Money doesn't make the world go round, music does! I couldn't live without music, it's everything to me. I started off learning piano and then when I got older I starting getting into rock music and learnt to play the guitar. I love all these great new independent ways of getting involved too, websites like Sellaband, Bandengine and Slicethepie that are all helping to change the face of the music industry and get everyone involved. [android]
I am actually considering to sign up my daughters for piano lesson by end of this year after they have finish their swimming lesson. Hopefully, they can help me, their mum to fulfill my dreams. [thhoon72]
I had been listening to music while travelling, walking, waiting, anywhere, anytime until my earphones were broken down. I forgot buying a new one and I got used to live without listening music on my mobile phone. Nowadays, I only listen to music on my computer. I listen it even reading a book. If I listen a song frequently, that doesn't disturb me anymore. Happy myLotting [zhorak]
Come to think of it, I think I listen to more music during when I am younger during my school days. Now, I only listen to music when I am driving, taking the public transport, doing my houseworks, cooking, exercising and surfing the net. I don't listen to music when walking, waiting, sleeping or shopping. Take care and have a great day ahead =)) [thhoon72]
I love music, and love to listen to it. Music does not bother me when I do anything else at all. Sometimes, it still depends on what kind of music, what mood I am in. [minhminh0604]
Yes, music is very closely linked to the mood of the listener. You will listen to different music when you are in different mood or you may not want to listen to music when you are not in the mood. Happy myLotting, dear =)) [thhoon72]
I can listen to music while working, but while studying I would only listen to classical music. And even then sometimes I get too involved in the music and will not study enough. I don't generally listen to music while driving because it is important to have the use of your ears so that you can hear the cars around you. But occasionally if there are no other cars around and I'm driving a long way, I will turn the radio on at an extremely low volume. [Pigglies]
The blind spot and lane changing is always the main reason for accidents. In fact, I have just passed my driving test during March and I still considered as green horn driving on the road. So currently, I am still driving at quite a low speed. But no matter what, I still prefer to on the radio or cd when I am driving. It makes me feel less nervous and not so lonely. Cheers =)) [thhoon72]
Hi, thhoon! Yes i like to listen to music while doing other things. I really enjoy listening to music while i am reading a book. I like a variety of different music, so it is not hard to be able to fid something to listen to. There are times when i just want to listen to music, such as your husband, and for those times i like to listen to classical. It helps keep my mind going when i am listening to music, and music has been a big part of my life since i was a child. [dmrone]
Now for me, I don't find time to just sit down and enjoy music alone. Think that time will be my sleeping time. But I am a person who fall asleep very fast, maybe even before a song finish....hahaha..... That is why, I will try to listen to music when I am doing my activites. I think life is boring without music. [thhoon72]
Music is very relaxing to me. When I am feeling some kind of way, music helps me to think and analyze the situation that I am in. I am constantly listening to music, sometimes I find myself playing a song over and over, be it because of the beat or I may be feeling the lyrics. As I've previously posted, I have a selfish lover, so I can't enjoy music as I fall asleep. Music is a stimulant to the mind, body, and soul. When I am getting ready for an event, I can not do it without music. Lol, I feel that I can't do my makeup without music. I use music to set my mood. I just love music. [inquirewithin]
Hello there, I like it when you said that music is a stimulant to the mind, body and soul. It is so true!!! Thanks for your response, dear =)) [thhoon72]
To be honest I don't think I listen to music as much as you do! I guess the only time I really listen to music is at school. I'm not really the social type of person so when I'm walking in the halls or I'm in the classroom, I put on some music to ease up the so-called "tense' that surrounds me. I do listen to music from time to time at home when I'm surfing the internet but never when I'm studying. I guess I can't really study with background music on, gets my head all confused! :P [SomeGuyAnth]
Ya, I know. Not all people can study while listen to music. I just can, don't know why my brain can just shut off the music when I am remembering important notes. Take care and have a nice day ahead =)) [thhoon72]
