How loud do you listen to Music?

Never too loud... in the middle I would say

its one of the many mysteries of Emily (one of the others being: why was she so hopelessly in love with Atomic_Rooster)

I just have it so it's loud enough to hear everything clearly, on my mp3 player and my computer/CD player.

In the car - stupidly loud, I literally shredded a set of speakers in my old VW, the replacements were so powerful the magnets sucked in the door panels and I had to build a new shelf out of 12mm MDF to take the weight of the rear speakers. Admittedly since parting with the VW I've grown out of this kind of behaviour: a family of badgers are now living in my old sub and I use the amp for cooking fajitas.

Somewhere in the middle, I guess.

Generally somewhere in he middle but now and then the volume gets turned up.

Depends on the music..

For example metal has to be loud

Interesting thead! I listen to my music loudly, almost all the time with the audio system (not in the PC), and also, most of the time, with my headphones, just to not bother my family, when they're home...

BUT, most of people confusese two things: listening to music loud on speakers doesn't damage your ears (unless it's TOOOO loud, like a concert, but I guess most of us don't reach that level ), you can remotely damage your ears with very loud headphones (I was told so).

Headphones will damage your hearing if you have them too loud for too long. All explained here: http://www.abelard.org/hear/hear.htm

Interesting webpage!
Spent some time reading it and all the info there's very helpful, everyone should read it.
For me, during the school days, I often don't listen to more than one CD per day, because I feel my ears tired after a journey of traffic, loud voices, etc etc
Also, personally, I use earplugs which reduce like 25 db, during loud rehearsals with my band and it really works, and there's almost no difference, and it's kinda greater because you can hear what you're playing clearer.
