Other. Sometimes I use it as background, sometimes I enjoy listening to it and focusing on it

I use it as background music, and I listen to it, focusing on the lyrics. It just depends what I'm doing, but I usually have to have music on.

I like to actively listen as much as possible.

Both but I have music on all the time so it kind of inevitably ends up as a background noise.

Mostly I like to focus on the music, but I do use it as a sort of motivator when I'm working on things like dishes, cleaning, or exercise.
Wherever I am, my music isn't more than an arms length or two away. :3

That's part of the reason I've been looking into a solar charging station for things like mp3 players and cell phones...at least then if we lose power I'll still be able to charge my gadgets. xD

There are times when I really just want to listen closely to music. Driving, especially when I'm in the car alone, can be a really good opportunity to do that. I don't mind music as background, and will put it on while I'm at work or doing other things around the house, but it just doesn't have the same effect. If I'm going to be listening to new music especially, or something that deserves attention, it needs to be the main focus of what I'm doing.

A lot of time I'll have it on while I do something else, but that doesn't mean I'm not getting into it! I almost always cook and clean with music playing, kind of dancing around the kitchen and singing,

Well I am into it whether or not I am doing something. I can multi task. I don't like music on just to have noise, I want to get into it and listen to what I like. It helps me focus and improves my mood.

Yep I use music sometimes like TV shows, just to keep me company when no one else is around.

Depends on what it is. If it is the Doors, then I am listening it to focus. If it is anything else, it's mostly background.

It really depends on what I'm doing. If I'm cleaning or cooking or something like that, I'll pay attention to what I'm listening. If I'm reading or writing, I'll usually have music with lyrics (classical, jazz, etc.) on in the background.

I mainly just use music for background noise, mainly while driving and doing chores.

Music is always playing when I am around I listen to it for background and to clean to. If I am in the car there HAS to be music and usually I am singing at the top of my lungs

Always have music going for "background music" when I'm cleaning house, doing work, school work, online, etc. I often have the living room tv going with music and totally different music on in the bedroom. I guess so that when I come back and forth, I hear a variety. Lol.
