Do You Listen To Music While You Work?

[espmartin]

Some workplaces do not allow their employees to listen to music while
on the job. Either because of the close proximity of co-workers, or
because their job entails too much moving from one location to the
next.

Some can't listen to music just because... So I wanted to ask you all
three questions:

1. Are you allowed to listen to music on your job? (2) Why or why not?
2. If so, what kind of music do you listen to?

Defiantly listen to music :dance2:, im more hard house, trance music. I love a good rave :crazy:

I personally don't like to listen to music while I work. Extremely distracting. Trust me on that. You have much better concentration without music.

I work home so answer to your first question - yes, I do allow myself music in the background.

Depends on the mood... Freddie Mercury, Adriano Celentano, some light pop music

I do listen to music now and again whilst working, it depends on what I'm doing, if its something that required a lot of concentration, I do not play music.

I love all music and do listen to it whilst working. However, and as Temi stated, if you are working on something that requires undivided attention then it is a no no.

I always have some music playing in the background. It makes me feel a bit more relaxed while I'm working

Music makes me work better most def. :applause: My mind is a scary place to be left along quietly with :crazy:

Sometimes music, often times podcasts/video casts (not watching just listening). Music I listen to varies from Eminem, Tupac to Mazart, to Maria Callas opera etc.

I listen music when I remember to turn it on

Most of the time I am so caught up by the work that I do not realize whats happening around me, so either music is playing or not it`s the same thing. Still when I have start posting or researching for links or similar tasks I do turn the music on.

A varied set of musical taste we have here
Ok, for me...I listen to alternative Christian rock when I'm designing, and I used to turn it
off, or very low, when I'm very concentrated on a project. But since I've discovered Mozart...
I listen to Mozart during those "I gotta really think while I work" moments
