i listen to talk radio throughout the day, but occasionally i'll switch over to music.

yes my office is super quiet so I log in to Pandora, XM or a local station's website and have it playing softly in the background. But I put it stations that play a good mix of pop-type or soft rock type music so no one gets offended.

Yes! It is the first thing I do every day...login to Pandora or Sirius and listen all day, (I agree with Syako that Pandora is the BEST!!). Music helps the day go by faster and if it were silent, I would go CRAZY:INNOCENT:

I can't work without music. I hate the silence. The radio here at work broke but no one cared but me so they didn't get a new one. So i listen to Pandora Radio online all day at work. I love it, you put in a band you like and it plays their music and similar music to it.

Only when I'm doing a task that requires minimal thought...which is not that often, thankfully.

i sit right by the office printer, and my cubemates love to sit and gossip, so sometimes it's the only way i can get through my day.

I listen to AOL Radio at my desk. It's one of the first things I do in the morning.

I love listening to music while I work. It helps the day go by. Although I get into constant disagreements with my co-worker on the type of music I listen to....

It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm working on something that doesn't require a lot of concentration, like a big mailing, then I have to have my iPod (I listen to my headphones but I only put one earbud in so I can hear if my phone rings, and I take the other one out if someone comes to my office to talk to me), but if I'm working on a project that needs a lot of concentration, I can't do it with music. Plus, I'm on the phone and in meetings a lot with my job, so I can't have music on then. But sometimes it's all that gets me through the day!

Yes i bring my Ipod along and have little speakers I connect to my Ipod. It helps me get through the day, but when I am busy or talking to someone about work, I pause the music.

I can't listen to music during the work day (I teach). However, on my planning period I end up listening to my ipod or msn's music station. Has anyone joined that? I really seems to be the smartest thing ever and knows everything I like :)

Not allowed...I wish it was because it is like a library in here- or the other girls start talking about stuff that kills my brain cells, then inevitably start fighting with each other in their passive aggressive way. Argh!

I have a pair of super cheap, no batteries speakers on my desk and play my iPod all day at a super low volume. I can barely even hear it, but it breaks the silence. If it were any louder, it would be distracting. No one, not even my coworker 8 feet away, can hear it.

i keep meaning to bring my ipod in with me to work so i can listen to music, but i've been forgetting. i like listening to music while i work, it helps the time pass more quickly.

Mostly, I listen to podcasts at work - Adam Carolla and Keith and the Girl are the favorites, although sometimes I find myself giggling at my desk.
