I would listen to music in headphones all the time if i wouldn't be afraid of hearing loss issue.

The sad truth is a few years ago, a friend and I found ourselves desperately seeking coffee before a Yes concert. When we realized what we were doing, we were absolutely shocked.

Oh, the ravages of old age...

Most of my listening is in the car or while sitting at the computer. In the car I shuffle my ProgFusion play list (a potpourri of prog and jazz from Billie Holliday to Methexis). At the computer I generally listen to whole albums while writing or reviewing manuscripts. 

When relaxing downstairs at the home theater (pretty rare these days) I either play entire albums or shuffle. The key to this experience is zoning out to the visuals on the 50-inch plasma.

No multi-tasking - not necessarily with headphones in the dark, but not far off. I find the 30 minute 'auto-pilot' car ride to my school in the morning is a great way to keep up to date with new releases or re-live old classics. 20-30 mins gets in at least one epic track! Smile

Agreed. On days when I'm struggling to focus at work, a bit of prog really helps wake my brain up.

For me, prog is ideal travelling music.  I like a long train journey or flight, sit back and listen while watching the world go by.
 
It's good in the car as well.
 
I struggle to listen and do nothing else - my eyes get bored.  If I have an ironing marathon I like to stick a live DVD on.

These days almost exclusively while driving.  I used to listen a lot at the computer, either while at work or at home, but for some reason I don't do that much lately.  I find I can concentrate on it best while driving.  Not sure what that says about my driving ability...  Tongue

Of course contrary to what I just said above I am right now listening to and loving the new Leprous album.Star

I listen as the mood goes. Sometime the same song mades me sad and introspective, sometimes I have to sing along, pretending I'am in a concert (yeah, I do that).

It depends.

But one thing is almost certain: I listen while reading - two passions combined.
- From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Most often during my daily commute. On the bus, with noise-canceling head phones. When I listen at home, I usually listen to 5.1 surround mixes seated on my couch, surrounded by cats !-)

In my car, driving around the Amish Country of Ohio (I'm in outside sales so that's eight hours to Prog out!)
 
On my iPod at night as I surrender to sleep the sweet, sweet sounds of Prog guide my journey.

I've tried that but I end up paying more attention to the game. I have to focus on the music to really hear and enjoy it. Guess I'm not good at multi tasking.

60% iPod with headphones lying in bed in the dark, eyes closed, before going to sleep
15% in my car on high volume while driving
15% on my Stereo usually just listening, sometimes while paging through magazines
10% on my cheap kitchen CD Player while cooking or doing the dishes
