Lol! You’re lucky. I worked as a promoter and I meet people up front and personal. No music for me

I actually CAN’T listen to music while I work, it just totally distracts me – I start thinking about what I’d change or what I’d play next!

The only thing I can listen to is Soma FM’s really ambient channels. they’re actually quite relaxing – like meditation. Chill me out as I can get a bit hot tempered when the internet plays up etc. etc. 😡 🙂

Yep, I do. There are times when things are slow or repetitive which don’t need my concentration, I play my music at work. But of course at low volumes.

at my last job they had a big PA system and people would put their Ipods on. But they’d always play the same thing, or one artist too much, etc. It seemed like common sense to me to play something that everyone would enjoy, and I couldn’t understand why that was a hard concept for people to grasp. I was new though and I wasn’t sure what the “Ipod protocol” was, so I just brought headphones for a while. But then my headphones broke… So I threw it on the PA one day and people loved it. So I started making playlists specifically for work, I became the “DJ” if you will haha. This is when I really started amassing music, listening to an Ipod for 10 hours a day really burns through a lot of songs and I hated hearing the same songs too often. My relationship with my music changed dramatically because of that job, I got to know my tracks better than I know myself :p

I can imagine you playing your own mixes to your colleagues… It’s a great way of promoting yourself! Words spreads out fast.

My IT teacher let us listen to music (headphones/ear buds, of course) during class, which is pretty awesome. We aren’t even supposed to have phones/iPods out of our lockers at school. Unfortunately, we’re getting a new teacher next semester (next time I go back to class, basically. Just finished exams).

I’ll usually check out my favorite blogs every day for a short bit…then purchase the few tracks I liked.

I actually will play movies while I work…because I’m so used to working with the TV on. I don’t even really pay attention. Just working on the Mac and then a laptop next to me with a movie on.

I thank God I can get away with this.

Yeah I listen while at work. I often cue lots of tracks on Beatport or Juno and listen to those. Anything that grabs me I will add to my wishlist to check out again later.

yeah I definitely listen to music while at work, sometimes I’ll get into it and dance in my office but when people pass by I’ll quickly pretend that I am stretching hahaa

If it helps you concentrate better then use headphones (better than office noise I think). I like using bluetooth so I don’t get tangled in wires.

Everyone at my office has their white ear-buds in. I just happen to have mine connected to DJAY by algoriddim. Try some stuff out and then perfect it in ITCH when I get home. winning.

I work at an accounting firm so as long as I get my job done and attend my meetings, I’m free to do whatever. I actually told my boss the listening to music make me more productive. 🙂

pretty much do the same thing. Work at a store designer/sales in an office. Get my coffee check my mail, digitial dj tips, dj tech tools and turn up the bass! lol same mentality at work, if I get it done then they are fine with listening to music. pretty nice gig
