Depending on which car I am driving, one car that I ended up driving all summer doesn't have radio, that means I am listening to only cds in it, maximizing the music I listen to.

At home? I listen to music almost constantly if I am in my room.

I do about 45% of my work at home from my computer as well, so I will listen to music then. Even when I am at work, I can usually bring my mp3 player and headphones if I want.

Overall, 8-12 hours a day is a good estimate.
 
So I probably listen around 4 hours these days. At work I used to listen to headphones 8 hours a day. Then I started developing this ringing in my ears that wouldn't go away, plus, the actual skin on my ears were in pretty rough shape from headphones. I had to cut back, it was like quitting a drug, a wonderful perfect one at that. I still do it, just gotta limit it a bit.
 
Unfortunately, I had to vote 0 - 4. I listen to the radio or Cd's to and from work and a little at home. I can't do it at work.:bawl:

A few years ago, I worked at a job where the radio was always on. 8 hours of classic rock everyday.:hyper: The job sucked, but the tunes were good.
