I use music as a tool more than as an entertainment format.
I find certain music help me in different scenarios.
When I have to do a serious bit of writing, I'd listen to Mozart or Chopin.
When I try to calm down or chill out I listen to house Kygo mostly.
When I try to exercise its dance 'n' house Avicci is what I typically listen to.
I've been chatting to another myLot user @changjiangzhibin, he reminded me some very good Chinese music..
now am listening to GuZheng with a pot of nice WuLoon Tea and mylotting, so Zen!
What do you use music for? What do you listen to and when?
p.s. GuZheng clip from youTube

Do you listen for entertainment or to accomplish a specific task

@Drosophila mostly just for entertainment though I have presented radio shows so I chose the tracks carefully for those

Music is a tool to me in the quiet mornings.
I put on the Soundscapes it is called.
It is mostly new age music which calms me or helps me to clean.
I do love the Chinese music as well so soothing Wendy.
I do love all music really, but I find lately, that is the only one I listen to.

The only thing that makes me so relax in writing by listening to music. I just listen to my mobile phone app. Then things will bring me to another world.
@arthurchappell I also randomly selecting different music genres. It really moves me as I listen to it.

@just4him I listen to Gregorian Monk chants when I want to read a classic book. It's very atmospheric

@Drosophila I've heard them a few times. They're very good. I don't listen to a lot of choirs. Mostly contemporary Christian artists.

I use music for everything. It's such a deeply-rooted part of my life that it's hard to think of it as 'entertainment.' I calm myself by playing guitar, I have it on to help me concentrate on what I'm doing (seriously -- I can't think when it's quiet!). And, as most people do, I have it on to help me exercise. I mostly like hillbilly, honky tonk, bluegrass, and alt-country music....but I also have the Clash's London Calling on my iPod.
