I don't know about music specifically, but I've met a number of people 
who seem to need to be constantly surrounded by noise. Like, they will 
have the radio on, and the TV, and be reading a book. WTF is wrong with 
these people?!

Personally, if I'm not *watching* TV, I turn it off. (And I almost never 
watch TV. I've reached that age where I delude myself that there used to 
be good stuff to watch...) Actually I never listen to radio, because 
none of them play the music I like. Rather, if I *want* music, I will 
play something from my cavernous music library. That way, *I* choose 
what I listen to.

I have a huge collection of CDs, and I quite often listen to them. But 
by that, I mean I sit and listen to the CD, and nothing else. I don't 
listen to music while doing something else, the listening *is* the thing 
I'm doing.
