Do you listen daily? For how long?

How long do you listen to music on average? I don't listen daily but when I do it's for about.....1 to 3 hours. I can have days where it will be around 5 hours though

I hear music for maybe 7 hours a day (including studytime etc). I listen to music for maybe an hour a day.

On and off for two hours or so.

If I'm at work it's all day as we have streaming music into the shop (it's not very good music) and we also have a CD out-front blasting out Christmas songs (THE PAIN). I run a toy shop...

If I'm at home (on a day off - which is now 3 or 4 days a week (got to love being the boss)) I'll use my speakers for anywhere between an hour to three hours and the cans for at least four hours everyday. If I've come come home from work I'll listen to at least two to three hours via phones before going to bed (may be more).

I listened to 12 hours Saturday and about 10 hours on Sunday; kind of got excited about my new phones. My usual times are not near that though. Today I snuck in about 6.

I hear up to around 5 or 6 daily, but most of that time I'm doing schoolwork. Generally, I get to really listen to about an hour or two max every day.

Good distinction.

I have headphones on for 8 hours while at work. Maybe 1-2 of those hours are really in a blitz of concentration. The other 6 are pretty much grind grind grind through the day.

At home, I listen for another 8 hours or so. 1 hour of which is real true listening, the other is just hearing the music.

following iPoodz distinction, I have music on for 3 hours or so average, I'd estimate. If I don't have a lot of things to do in the evening, I try to fit in an hour or two of just listening. Unfortunately, that's not possible every night.

Six to eight hours a day at work. About an hour or two before sleeping.

I have music on 5-10 hours a day at work, 2 hours a day while commuting, and 0-2 hours a week day evening. On weekends, 0-5 hours of music. I'm lucky if I get an hour a day of active listening though.

99% of my listening is with headphones, even at home. My wife is hard of hearing and doesn't like noise.

Anywhere from 1-3 hours, 4 or 5 days out of the week.

I'd say around 5 hours a day. 3 hours on headphones, the rest of the time on speakers.

Makes you wonder what people 'did' before the advent of affordable radio tuners. You'd go to work.. and work in silence all day then come home to silence and go to bed in silence. If you were lucky someone in your family had musical talent of any kind (instrument or vocal) to break up the monotony.

I have quality music on about about 14 hours a day (almost my entire waking period) with about 1-2 hours of that, on average, real listening.

About 13 hours a day of music, 2 - 3 of those are really listening.

I agree with you Maxvla. How did people without access to music and listening devices avoid going insane?
