12.13.16 | Personally, I mostly listen to music when I'm doing/procrastinating on doing homework and while walking around campus or to and from classes. |
50iL
12.13.16 | I do so while reading, doing HW and lurking around Sput |
MarsKid
12.13.16 | Anytime, really. When working, playing games, etc. My favorite time is when I can sit back, relax, and just delve completely into an album. I'll set aside time for that during the week. It's a great experience and really helps appreciate the music more and all that's happening within it. |

12.13.16 | "When Do You Listen to Music?"
All the wrong times |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | @50il: I wish I could listen to music while reading, but for the most part it's too distracting
@MarsKid: I used to do that a lot more, haven't had much time to do so recently though. |
FullOfSounds
12.13.16 | Usually while browsing Sput |
calmrose
12.13.16 | I always listen to music when I write, browse the interwebs, and drive. When I was in school, it would be when doing HW, walking to and from class, and walking to and from my favorite coffee shop in town. |
MarsKid
12.13.16 | I got too much time for that. Classes have been easy and everyone seems to be so distant or busy. Kinda sucks. |
50iL
12.13.16 | Lol I read while jamming Death |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | "Usually while browsing Sput"
Same, but usually browsing Sput fall into the "procrastinating on doing homework" categore |
onionbubs
12.13.16 | always
i swear more than 50% of the day i spend listening to stuff |
TVC15
12.13.16 | Almost all the time; driving, surfing the web, gaming on game apps, doing homework, etc. There'll be times when fatigue sets in and I go on a music hiatus but yeah
Guess that explains why I have so many ratings lol |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | Another question I guess is what percent of time do people listen to full albums versus playlists or just random songs? |
calmrose
12.13.16 | I just about always listen to full albums, rarely ever listen to playlists or shuffle songs |
MarsKid
12.13.16 | Oh I always do full albums more so than playlists. There's a lot more value to jamming an entire CD in my opinion.
Tho I do have a Spotify playist with my favorite albums, I'll shuffle em and jam that every once in a while. |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | For me it's like 95% full albums probably, I rarely even listen to my favorite songs from albums outside of the context of the full thing unless I only have time for a song or two. |
50iL
12.13.16 | I pretty much never jam a playlist. However, I do like to jam random songs in school. |
Dylan620
12.13.16 | Procrastination/free time/HW/etc.
The bulk of my listening probably takes place when I go out for walks
I usually go with full albums, but sometimes I'll have a craving for individual songs over their parent albums. Sometimes that craving extends to multiple songs and that will result in a playlist - occasionally I like to toy around with how well I can make songs by different artists flow into each other |
theBoneyKing
12.13.16 | I actually think the only time I've made a playlist that didn't consist of just complete albums was when AmericanFlagAsh and I made playlists for each other a couple months ago. |
Dylan620
12.13.16 | I used to make playlists quite frequently but I've always gravitated towards full albums - that gravitation has only strengthened over time
Album-to-playlist/song ratio used to be around 70%, nowadays I'd estimate it's closer to 90% |
Ocean of Noise
12.13.16 | I always listen to an album before I go to bed. Generally I just scroll fb/sput while doing so |
Drifter
12.14.16 | Mostly video games and school |
TVC15
12.14.16 | I almost always listen to full albums; I only listen to playlists if they are reworked tracklistings of already existing albums and I hardly ever have the urge to listen to a song by itself unless it's something that I consider absolutely amazing even outside of the context of the album (Bittersweet Symphony, Holland 1945, Painkiller, Pure Fucking Armageddon, etc)
The best time for me to absorb an album is when driving, of all things |
Conmaniac

YakNips
12.14.16 | never |
rabidfish
12.14.16 | mostly when i drive to and from school (it's a solid 40 min drive).
It's the only thing that makes driving bareable, i fucking hate it, makes me feel anxious and awkward. |

12.14.16 | when I am happy or sad never when I am angry
In college I delivered pizzas and listened to shit tons of music doing that, it was the best |
Dewinged
12.14.16 | working, I translate stuff, but albums I dig I pass them through the lyrics listening session at home, in the dark. |
Joeman82
12.14.16 | I listen to music all the time. Throughout school, at home, the only time I don't is when I am talking to other people. |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | "In college I delivered pizzas and listened to shit tons of music doing that, it was the best"
That sounds awesome, I have a job cleaning bathrooms on campus currently during which I usually listen to music, delivering pizzas is probably more pleasant though lol

theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | Lol no idk I guess it's cause I envision you as like 14 for some reason even though I know you're older than that, not that you're immature it's just how I see you in my head (even though I know what you look like) |

tacos n stuff
12.14.16 | most of my music listening is in the car on my way to class/work
Im sometimes able to get away with listening at work if im outside and have a beanie on so i can hide my headphone wire in my shirt and wrap the earbud around the top of my ear |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | "In college I delivered pizzas and listened to shit tons of music doing that, it was the best"
It better have been shit tons of POP PUNK |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | That's a lot of effort tacos
I knew a kid back in middle school who would feed an earbud through his sleeve so it was in his hand and lean his head against his hand so he could listen during class. |
TVC15
12.14.16 | I think it's cos I attract a lot of the younger users on this site lol |
AlexKzillion
12.14.16 | Nowadays teachers give zero fucks at all if you listen to music during class (at least at my school) |
tacos n stuff
12.14.16 | Ive done the sleeve trick before when i was in high school, but i stopped once the test came and realized i wasnt paying attention to anything the teacher was saying |
tacos n stuff
12.14.16 | heres the real question tho guys:
phone or mp3 player? |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | Yeah the sleeve trick is pretty silly
Also if you need to listen to music that much you probably have a problem |
Typhoon24
12.14.16 | breakfast lunch and dinner, sometimes on the way to work, at the gym, and then when im chilling on some psychoactive substances |

TVC15
12.14.16 | "phone or mp3 player?"
I'd much rather use an MP3 just so that my phone wouldn't have so much needed space dedicated to music but all I got is my phone |
TVC15
12.14.16 | sm0k |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | "phone or mp3 player?"
Both actually, I have an iPod classic that's synced to my dad's music library (I pretty much only listened to his stuff until about a year and a half ago) and then I use my phone for everything else (mostly Spotify) |
Typhoon24
12.14.16 | "acid>"
it's too intense and makes me nauseous. the right benzo and a couple hits of some dank and i'll be set for a saturday night in with the wifey |
swallowtales
12.14.16 | i use a phone but would prob get an expensive dedicated player if i could. but my phone has p good sound so its ok |
tacos n stuff
12.14.16 | my friends give me mad shit for my ipod classic. But like, what happens when my whole music library is on my phone and my phone dies in 3 hours and now i not only have no phone, i have no music. My classic lasts me like a whole week and has 160 gb, you practically never need to worry about anything |
tacos n stuff
12.14.16 | ebay even sells modded ones with like 500gb
probs gonna get one too, the space on mine is close to full :/ |
RLWFormula
12.14.16 | never i fucking hate music |
Dylan620
12.14.16 | Jealous that you still have an iPod Classic Boney and tacos, mine carked it some time ago :/
My iPod Touch is serving well though, plus my phone has me set for Spotify if I want to spin an album that isn't in my collection (physically or digitally) |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | I can't listen to music while reading. Breaks up the flow of the reading for me. Plus, when you go into a book, you enter into that particular book's world. An album generally has a totally different feel, unless you like queue up the exact, perfect disc for a certain novel.
Otherwise you're jamming Abominable Putridity to Jane Austen or something. Maybe that'd work out for some people. |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | Dylan I got the classic about a year before Apple discontinued it, it won't last forever though and I can tell it's already on the way our (sometimes it's really slow or the scroller just doesn't work). I'm dreading the day it finally dies on me too because I'll lose that entire collection from my dad's digital library. Fortunately almost everything is on Spotify but it's just not quite the same. |
tacos n stuff
12.14.16 | use slsk dudeee |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | MarsKid, I wouldn't want to listen to music while reading for pleasure, but I wish I could do it while reading for classes. Fortunately I do mostly math and science classes so I can listen to music while doing almost all of my work. |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | "use slsk dudeee"
Inevitably I'll revert to that eventually but it'll be a pain to have to rebuild my collection from nothing. Spotify's convenient enough though. Also I have the security that streaming of some sort will always be a thing going forward whereas who knows if actual music files will be a thing 10 or 20 years from now? |
MarsKid
12.14.16 | Music is great for math homework, yeah. Or Kenken puzzles. |
Typhoon24
12.14.16 | "Sorry to hear that man"
nah the wife's cool. we both work ridiculous hours and try to go out fridays but saturday night is chill night. either both listen to music or we do our own thing. 50% of saturdays my daughter will be with her cousins or grandma so we can finally kick it lmao |

DoofusWainwright
12.14.16 | I can listen to music in the office, on the commute, and currently I'm trying to write some scripts for a show idea so I'll have music on in the background for that.
I also make playlists to listen to with my other half. So pretty much all the time. |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | Sounds like that explains how you can just tear through albums as fast as you do Doof
My average daily listening time is probably like 3-4 hours which I imagine is on the low side for users here. |
Chortles
12.14.16 | pretty much listening to music or podcasts for most of my routine - walking to/from work, in the office, while cooking dinner, getting stoned, falling asleep etc etc
similar to doof i have a bunch of playlists for when my gf is around as well. very effective |
theBoneyKing
12.14.16 | I do usually listen to music when falling asleep too (though currently I have to use earbuds to do so which is a pain) but I usually only get through a song or two before I nod off. |
Dewinged
12.14.16 | My avg is like 6 hours, most of the time are full albums |

12.14.16 | before bed is so nice if you have the right album. headphones are a pain in the ass if you have to use them though, can't tell u how many times i almost strangled myself in my sleep with them tbh |

i always listened to music when doing work in uni so im almost conditioned that way now
i actually listen to podcasts more often than music when im driving or at home cleaning etc |

12.14.16 | mr alex, it was metal, the grateful dead, zappa, british pop, psych and jazz, no pop punk, makes me want to throw up |
elliootsmeuth
12.14.16 | Usually when playing Skyrim, just browsing on here, or in school. |
Chortles
12.14.16 | yeee podcasts are awesome for driving, esp for long commutes or trips. keeps me a lot more engaged than music since you have to pay more attention and it makes it go by much faster |
AmericanFlagAsh
12.14.16 | At my work desk mostly these days. Often when I'm cleaning or tidying up my apartment.
My favorite time is when I can actually just relax on my bed/couch, with headphones on, and immerse myself in an album. Sometimes while playing my 3DS. |

TVC15
12.14.16 | I haven't noticed till now that I exclusively listen to The Beatles in the past few semesters when I'm studying for my finals |
TVC15
12.15.16 | Yeah but then studying wouldn't be as interesting and I could relate certain things to a certain lyric or song and stuff |
theBoneyKing
12.15.16 | I should probably listen to more ambient, so I have better stuff to listen to when I really need to focus or when I have to write |
TedSchmosby
12.15.16 | i don't have any way to listen to music on the go, and i don't want to listen to new music when i'm doing stuff on the computer because then i'm not really listening, so i only listen to new stuff when i'm in bed |

12.15.16 | My problem isn't knowing what the concepts are but rather how the fuck do I apply them to a problem |
TVC15
12.15.16 | I feel kinda bad for ya, my Physics teacher is giving everyone in my class a sheet of paper on all the equations we've learned in the semester so far for the short answer section
But you got it Boneybro you didn't get into Harvard for no reason 🙏 |
TVC15
12.15.16 | Whoop first non-Beatles album, The La's self-titled. There She Goes reminded me how doubling force also doubles acceleration and a tall object will only topple over when the center of gravity is displaced from the support base |
50iL
12.15.16 | Physics are fun but hard to get the hang of man
In the end, it's all about logic though. It's about picturing the problem and understanding how and why each given formula is the way it is. |
theBoneyKing
12.15.16 | I get to use a double-sided sheet of formulas so I'm not worried about that but the practice exams/exams from previous years have been killing me. 20 multiple choice and 7 problems in 3 hours doesn't sound that bad, but oh it is. Oh well. I did about average on the two midterms so I'll probably do about the same this time.
Enjoy your last months of high school dude. |
