How much of the day do you have music playing?

During the week it's about 3 to 4 hours per day...almost all "background". The weekend is when I set time aside for "dedicated listening"...those sessions tend to go anywhere from 90 minutes to 4 or 5 hours.
 
Background music is becoming less and less for me and my gal!


There just so many "screamers", as the SO calls them, and repetitive tunes...I'm going more and more to my own recorded material. It's more detailed and overall; preferred.

Then there's the advertising!:rolleyes:

Like some, I think I'll end up with a mix of classic or jazz as some have moved to in the end.

Probably 10+ hours a day, more if I could get away with it at work. No TV for me, just music as always! :music:
 
Music plays in my house constantly. Not always active listening and sometimes not even paying enough attention to know what is playing but it's going from the time I wake up to the time I sleep if I am in the house. I listen to music on youtube at work and I have a rotation of albums I listen to in the car. I figure I probably listen to music 12+ hours a day. Active listening 2-4 hours.
 
Oft wonder just how the gurus of airwaves gauge/measure as to who is listening to what, out there in radioland.

I find the repetition of songs is getting worse. Must be a cost factor of royalties?


My listening to radio tunes becomes less with each passing year...or maybe month.

Then there's the advertising...another poll?


Q
 
Bottom line, I listen to music 95 percent of the time, sometimes while reading or surfing the net. That's the beauty of audio. I can multitask. I'd estimate that I listen to music an average of 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Nap time not withstanding.

When I was in college and buying my first higher end stereo (a Yamaha CA-810 system), the salesman at the stereo shop said he grew up in a TV-LESS home. No TV whatsoever during his entire childhood. Just radio and vinyl records. At the time, I thought that was crazy. Now, it sounds like heaven to me, especially with what has happened to TV programming in recent years. When I do watch TV, it's either a movie I really want to watch, or it's older Westerns.

I used to tinker with my rigs as a younger man. Now I just listen. My tinkering days are over. I used to play hard media about 80 percent of the time. As I've aged and become a bit more lazy, I play hard media much less and stream music much more. Lately I stream mostly terrestrial FM stations. I grew up with DJs announcing and curating the music, and that's what I still enjoy as an adult. I used to stream via Google Chromecast Audio and Amazon Alexa. A few years ago, I started using a home FM transmitter from Amazon (1/4 watt), and that's the ticket for me now. I have an Alexa Dot 2nd generation (the last generation with mini audio plug output) hard wired to the FM transmitter and that broadcasts the same signal to all of my radios, recievers and tuners in my whole house simultaneously. Now I can have a multiple radios or receivers/tuners on in multiple rooms, tuned to the Transmitter's FM frequency, and they are all in perfect sync from room to room. This is far superior to trying to stream Google or Amazon to mulitple systems/rooms and get them in perfect sync so there is no echo/delay from room to room.
