Do you listen to music while you are on the computer or watch TV or do you like it quiet. Prefer to be in my office and for the most part have it quiet so I can focus on what I am doing what about you?

My music is on 24/7 including the night time. My dogs like it when home alone... I listen to: Ocean Waves at Sunset Thunderstorm Tropical night Woodland Night fall Reiki Chakra and much much more.... It plays for about 2 weeks non stop, no need to touch anything. It is not loud, just playing in the background. Happy Listening!

if im doing homework on my computer i like to listen to upbeat instrumental jazz music because it keeps me alert and awake but then again there are no lyrics for me to follow and get distracted by. this way its only "background" music. If im watching tv i usually dont listen to music because im listening to the television but if im just messing around on my computer i 'll listen to all different types of music. everything from rap and hip-hop to rock and pop. recently ive been listening to john mayer, barenaked ladies, matchbox 20, sublime, aerosmith, as a few of my favorites. when im getting ready to go out to party or to chill with my friends i usually listen to rap or hiphop music because those genres are more for partying and having a good time. but as for focus music i like to listen to some upbeat and "groovy" jazz and if im going to sleep i like to listen to classical like mozart, bach, handel, beethoven, berlioz, and schumann.

hello zeloguy, yes, I'm definatelly listen to music when infrontoff my computer or using computer, since my computer almost always connected to the internet, and I'm always streaming a radio, besides I'm listen to the music, my streaming activity also have the other usage, it is usage to keep my internet connection no idle, so my internet service provider would not cut my connection, but when watching television I'm never listen to the music, I can't imagine watching a television while listen to the music, hmmmmm may be only see the picture not watching it.

Sweet. I have XM radio and they have streaming stations and occasionally I will listen online but I 100% of the time listen while I am in my car... why I have no idea, just always been that way since I was a teenager.

I usually have music playing with the oldies on the radio or Lone Star, who is my favorite. Sometimes I like it quiet, like now, it's very quiet.

i am currently listening to Vera Lynn but occassionally i let myself go and have a weak moment and put on Glen Miller. I always feel thourghly ashamed of myself for letting the sherry go to my head.

Glen Miller... I actually listen to him too... it's music that will never go out of style.

Once you go back... I love having it playing as ambient music in my house. Just fills up a rather dull dwelling

Most days I have the tv on..I can't see it from where my desk is but I can hear it LOL so I usually do my online thing and listen to the tv...Occasionally though I'll turn it off and put on a CD or even just have the house quiet...It all depends on my mood really..

I can kinda say that is like me too although I don't like to veg in front of the TV unless it is one of the three designated shows that I watch religiously (House, Bones, Chuck). And that is going away soon because of the writer strike... God help us, more reality television.

Music is one part of my life. I enjoy listening to music. I have collected the songs I like and burn them into CD. Now I have four CDs.

That is great. Do you like a particular kind of music or all kinds of music?

It depends on what I'm doing. But mostly I listen to music while sitting in front of the computer. Sometimes the tv is also on but I usually don't watch it (only listen to it).

It all made sense after you explained yourself and I can agree with you... when you are doing chores or on the internet or whatever it is good to have some background music. If you are reading, you want your silence. That makes sense.

So you like the ambient noise... my sister used to drive me CRAZY with that as a kid... she'd be reading a book and have the TV on at the same time. I do that with CNN or MSNBC or whatever but not a TV program

yeah, news do work.. and when I say listen.. it's more a "background" thing.. you know what I mean? What you sister did... I would not do.. If I read a book I want to read a book and not listening/watching a movie or so too. I do enjoy silence too. I don't always listen to music or the tv is also not always on when I'm in front of the computer... it's different... I can't generalize my answer ;)

the tv is usually going for someone else in the background but if it isn't i have my music on pretty loud... lol maybe thats why the TV's on all the time. i like it loud, i can still concentrate, i think i am used to ignoring background noise.

So your noise is more than ambient noise it is loud and maybe distracting to you but it doesn't bother you yourself. God made us all different and that is what makes life great!

I personally love to have either the music on or the television on while im doing something on the computer. Such as right now I am answering a few questions on mylot.com and I am listening to bill engvall and its really putting me in a better mood....so I really do like listening to something while i am on the internet because the internet can be boring at times and you need a quick pick me up sometimes and music does that for me!!!

Yeah, music is relaxing and it makes you feel better if you are upset about something,listening to your fingers as you are typing on the keyboard can be a kind of music too.
