A F#@king 5h!t Load !!

Music is always playing when other stuff isn't. Not always full albums mind you, but the pod has over 1600 songs on rotation alone.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Yeah, I'm with you there.

As I am writing this, I am not hearing music at all. I listen to an album or two now and then when I feel like it: sometimes it is classical recording, sometimes it is rock, sometimes folk, sometimes prog, jazz, electronic and so on.

But that is just me, and obviously for other people things might be different. So my question is: how much music do you actually listen to on a daily basis?
 
It's not just how often we listen to music, but how often we listen to new music. I would listen to music for about an hour a day, but that music is mostly music I already have and listened to often. I only sporadically listen to new music. It might be months between getting more music. On the other hand, occasionally I might go on a bit of a spree. Tonight, I listened to The Mercury Tree - Self Similar for the first time... and second time. I intend to get that album. But that doesn't happen very often. It seems pointless to have a lot of music if I don't have the time to enjoy listening to it.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

The whole albums or just enough to give a star rating? 

I probably list to around 5 hours a day. My job is such that 50% is meetings and 50% is working alone. I always have music playing when I work. I've been like that ever since I was in my teens. I find I concentrate better with music. I'll normally list to an hour or two in  the evening depending on whats on TV.

I'm retired now and probably listen to one hour a day. For 23 years at my day job I listened, on headphones, an average of five hours a day five days a week.

I listen to two or three albums a day. I mainly listen to music on my PC now. I still love buying physical music though, mainly CD's. Smile

I'd say I average 3-4 albums a day, either at home or in the car. I don't watch much TV these days (although I have been known to 'binge watch' a series); music is just more important to me...
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I try to listen to music every day. I don't always succeed. 
It's never the same, there are days I listen to a few songs, and there are days I listen to several albums.
