When you post away on My Lot do you also love to listen to music?

When I log into My Lot especially in the evening I tend to spend a couple of hours posting away but I find it difficult to type away without listening to my favourite music as well. I don't have music playing away in the background no, I open up another tab on Internet Explorer and I log into my playlist account on www.playlist.com You can open up a free account and find all your favourite music videos and I listen to these whilst I am busy responding to online posts. I think that this is a great idea. Do you listen to music yourself whilst typing away on My Lot? I think that it helps me persevere and carry on posting, it's certainly very relaxing. I would definitely check the site out and start finding your favourite music to listen to! Andrew

That sounds so nice to do that while online. I have a Pandora account among other online radio accounts, but, normally I don't listen to music while online. ONLY when my cable messes up and that has only been about twice this past year. I'll check out playlist. Thanks for the link! LOL! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Hey Andrew! I just joined playlist myself! It's very different than Pandora is. Pandora is an Internet radio while on playlist you upload music. I haven't uploaded any songs as of yet, but, I will soon! Have a great day and an even better one tomorrow! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Well, good luck with that. I love playlist and I listen to it frequently when I am doing things online. I hope to speak to you soon. Andrew

Hello Catwoman. Ah! You also have a Pandora account? Another My Lotter in this discussion mentioned that and I tried to get an account for myself but was unable to due to it not being available outside the US. They may change things in time but otherwise I will continue to enjoy playlist.com. Music helps to pass the time when I am on My Lot. My posting becomes that much easier and I don't have to think that much about things. Andrew

I ALWAYS have background music on. I go to a site called www.pandora.com They have radio stations you can listen to for free. You create an account with a username and password. Then you type in a favorite song or artist and it creates a personalized radio station just for you to listen to with music that has similar sound to the song or artist that you typed in. It's amazing and very fun because you can gain insight to new music as well as the stuff you already listen to... I added you as a friend, you'll have to let me know if it's something you like or not! Have a great day!

Hi Merry, that's great! It's terrific to have you aboard as a friend! I shall have to check out that site pandora.com, it sounds quite interesting! I think I will use the both of them, pandora and playlist! Well, in terms of My Lot age you are very young, eighteen posts so far!. Welcome to this fantastic community. Well, I love background music when I am posting on My Lot and it definitely helps me to concentrate and continue posting. I don't listen to music when I'm surfing the net generally, doing research and things like that. For My Lot, music is perfect! Andrew

Ah! Merry! I just checked out the site www.pandora.com and unfortunately I'm unable to create a user account as it's only for subscribers within the US. There was a message around them hoping to change this at some point but that is unfortunate. That's life! Andrew

Hi dear! I think it will depend upon from person to person. It is good that you enjoy listening to music, while mylotting. As far as I am concerned, I do not listen to music, when I am on mylot. I prefer to concentrate fully on mylot discussions and any kind of distraction makes me uncomfortable. I can handle one task at a time. I believe when I write response, I need to focus on the topic and my thoughts. Though I love listening to music and I listen music when I get to do routine tasks like getting ready or shaving or cleaning etc.

Yes, that's ok, everyone has a different way of doing things as you say. I find that music helps me to concentrate. I can take a moment's reflection before writing my next post, it's very enjoyable. I'm not that much of a multitasker myself. I like to concentrate on one thing and get it done before moving onto something else. Nice chatting with you. Andrew

Hi dear! If music adds enjoyment to your concentration and you can ponder about next post, there is nothing wrong in enjoying music.

Well i do listen to music while typing reponses to discussions on here. I get my playlist from Limewire, it is where i donwload my favorites. Yes, it is so relaxing listening to music and i agree it does help us think of better reponses and ideas to share on here. Happy listening, my friend. Take care.

Hello sweetie, it's nice to hear from you again. I'm hearing about all these different playlist sites, I guess there are so many to choose from. Music definitely makes my world go round! When I first log into My Lot this is the first thing I do, I open another tab and then access the playlist site and get the music running on repeat and it goes from all the music from beginning to end and then it repeats over. I can forget about that then and get on with posting on My Lot. Nice chatting with you again sweetie, hope everything's good. Andrew

I am usually listening to music when I'm online, not just on mylot. Right now, I'm listening to Dave Koz's Christmas Album which is smooth jazz and very nice to listen to during the weekends, when you're just trying to catch a break and relax.

Ah! Jazz! I love jazz music particularly the evening dinner jazz range! I think that music makes me more productive when it comes to posting on My Lot. I don't think I could survive without it! Andrew

Yeah I do :) Then again, I don't know a time when I'm not listening to music. It's like my life. I have to have music playing all the time because I can't stand silence. playlist.com is an awesome site!

I almost always have my TV on during the day, so when I'm on myLot I have something on the TV that I want to watch, well listen too. If I have music on I would get distracted by singing along =) I love playlist.com!! I use to have a bunch of songs on mine for myspace but since we can't put them on there anymore I don't use it.

Hi Andrew. No, I don't listen to music when I mylot. I tend to keep my speakers off so I don't hear anything other than the tap, tap, tapping of my fingers on the keyboard when I type online. LOL Happy mylotting!

Well, I don't mind the tapping noise of the keyboard but it can be quite repetitive! I listen to music as it helps me to concentrate and relax and I also post a lot more I think! Where would we be without our favourite music! Andrew

oh i may try that playlist . anyways, i keep playing this youtube video and listen to the song while i post on this site and surf other sites. i just keep repeating same songs before i choose another song . sometimes for the whole day i will just listen to some few songs of the same singer. specially when i really love the voice of the singer. right now i am listening to the video and song of the Australian Got Talent contestant. i love the rendition cause it is really emotional rendition and it touches my heart a lot and makes me like wake to the reality that life has hope and every thing is possible to achieve. which is the message of the song. quite sad tune but inspires me to hope that dreams do come true. the boy's voice is so angelic . i love it.

There's also music that I love to repeat and I never get tired of listening to it. I sometimes get very tired when I post too much on My Lot so I have to have the music as well and this keeps me going, it kind of helps me to persevere. Actually, it's getting quite late now and I realise that I'm not listening to any music at all and here I am responding to posts on My Lot! Well, I'm about to hit the sack anyhow. Andrew

Definitely. I got a playlist on imeem.com (about 300 songs and counting lol). I cut that on when I get home and read my mail and also read discussions on here. Sometimes I will log into Pandora radio and put it on Quick Mix. I find it relaxing to listen to music when posting on any discussion board or to get through repetitive tasks at work.

Oh, I haven't heard of them, I will have to take a look and see what they have to offer. Music makes things that much easier when it comes to posting on My Lot. Without the music I would find things so repetitive and this would be difficult. There are times when you just want to take a short break away from My Lot and it's at those times when I need music the most. Andrew

You will like imeem. I ran into it when looking for a track by a chicago dj. I will have to tell you that they are having a bit of a problem with their search engine as of late but they are working on it. Enjoy!

Hi jugs jugs: well that's not exactly how i feel about silence. Silence is beautiful too but i think you need silence when you're doing yoga and not when you're here in mylot. When i have to work and everything is in silence i feel more pression on the air, it's just like i'd feel that someone during this silence is telling me that i have no idea about what i'm doing. Lol. XD. Thanks for your answer.

I have to have music playing whilst I am posting away on My Lot but I do love silence at times as well as I find silence peaceful and relaxing. For some reason though the music helps me to continue typing and I'm so pleased with that. When there's total silence at times then I find my thoughts starting to drift elsewhere! Andrew

As I am doing this post, my ears are also glued to a tv program. I don't get distracted by doing these two things together. The programs that I usually watch are not music stuff but they are soap operas and a talk show. I just feel that I don't want to miss any of the two tasks that I am doing together. I feel that I can concentrate well without any background noise and I can post faster when my favorite tv programs end for the day.

I think that the tv would be a bit much for me! I can focus on doing two things myself but I would rather that be me listening to my favourite music and getting through the day with ease. When I have my headphones on I have to have the phone close by so that I can hear it ring otherwise I would miss it. Anyway, that's life, good music and My Lot! Andrew

I enjoy listening to my favourite music in deep night especially when have a good or bad mood.I don't think it's a good idea for me to listen to anything when I am doing work or other things.I like to start another after have finished one thing and I don't know if it's a good habit?

That's ok. For me I am able to concentrate when I listen to pleasant music, it kind of gives me an inner strength to get the task at hand completed. It makes Internet time that much easier. I have the headphones on and when I'm listening to music in the winter this also keeps my ears warm! Andrew

I think that music is definitely food for the soul! Like you I cannot live without it and I have to listen to my favourite music whilst posting away on My Lot. Positive music definitely takes my mind away from negative thinking and negative thoughts. I generally listen to something very relaxing before I hit the sack and then this helps me to get a good night's rest. Andrew

I always listen to music whenever i post on mylot. It would be boring without music in my ears. So whenever im on my computer, i will always put on my earphones and start posting. And right now, im listening to music. It keeps me going. I love when i can groove to the music or be sentimental, it all depends on the music i listen to. Its great!

You wear headphones too?. I can't listen to music without them as I don't have very powerful speakers, just basic ones. I love listening to Classical music and some stuff from the 70s too! I'm sure that it helps with my concentration too! Anyway, it's just a nice addition whilst posting on My Lot. Andrew

Hi Andrew Freyne: thanks it sounds interesting how a simple activity such as listening to music helps us to relax and obviously to work better. I do the same when I'm posting here in mylot. For some reason listening to music helps me to make my ideas clear and to inspire me to write them in a logical way, i else listen to music when i'm reading or studying. This is one of the things that makes me think that music it's pure magic. Thanks for posting about this.

Yes, I don't know how I would cope if I didn't get the music playing away first before I started writing on My Lot. I think that music can help you do a lot of things. I also love to read and occasionally I will put some background music on. I love classical music as well as easy listening. Whilst posting away on My Lot I have to take regular tea breaks as well! It helps to have a cup of tea by myside, this also helps me to concentrate. Well, happy posting I guess! Andrew

I have not immersed so much. I only look mylot as avocation. But I have come to mylot everyday if I have time.I usually read some discussions and response about 10. Do not regard as a kind of pressure.

No, that's good, there should be no pressure when it comes to My Lot. I also come in here when I can and I post away. I have to have my music playing away though, I can then forget about everything. Andrew

Yes, I love My Lot, this is the best site that I know! Music stimulates my mind and I'm sure that I become more productive as a result! I love classical music and I tend to listen to choral works as I find them inspirational. I can post quite a lot when I am listening to music and then I may take a fifteen minute break before returning to the computer and posting some more. Good luck with your own posting. Andrew
