I can’t listen to music while I work. It distracts me and I can’t concentrate. But when I have to listen to a video or something, as soon as it’s over, I forget to take out my headphones if I get distracted with somethings else… almost the same thing here.
haha I do this a lot, my new craze is to get up from my work desk with my wireless headset on (forgetting its on my head) and walking to the toilet or off for a cigarette with it still on.
How hard would it be for a desktop OS makers to solve this problem? If program B starts playing something it should pause program A, then restart it when B is finished. How hard?
It happens just like when you are listening to the radio in your car,you turn it off and when you turn it back on it’s very loud it’s called tunnel hearing,you get a cut in your finger it hurt like hell five minutes later it doesn;t hurt any more(endorfines)it’s call conceptual perception channelling…Dr.Trex

I usually only realise after taking the headphones off, walking to the kitchen and wondering why everything sounds so clear.

I seriously thought it was just me who gets easily distracted!
I once stopped in the middle of an ending solo, realised i had stopped it an hour later, and didn’t feel like listening to it anymore! haha

I listen to music while working, but listening music while studying can be highly distracting.
