On average. Curious to see what the numbers are. |

It varies, but it's never zero. There are always tunes in the car. So on work days the commute is 70-90 minutes. Then it earbuds on breaks, so in a 12.5 hour shift that's another 75 minutes. Tends to be a little more on days off. I'm going to estimate 2-3 hours a day minimum. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

About ten hours a day on average and around 10% of the music I listen to is prog, or one prog album a day on average.

At this point in time, I am listening to a lot of the progcentric radio shows. I typically spend about 4-5 hours a day listening to them, averaged out and also purchase what I like of new music and music I missed here and there. I will usually spend 3-4 hours a week listening to both new and old purchases.

Maybe 4-5 hours on average. 1-2 hours in the car, and 3-4 hours at work on earbuds except on days where I have lots of meetings ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

4-7 hours daily methinks with more during the weekend. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I'd say more often than not I listen to about 1-3 full album's worth of music a day. Sometimes it's the same album 3 times, sometimes it's the same artist with 3 different albums (the case lately with Beefheart, lol).

It appears from the replies so far, that I listen to more music overall (about 10 hours a day on average) than almost anyone here, and yet ironically, I listen to less prog than almost anyone here, as only around 6% of my CD collection could be classed as genuine bona fide prog.

| Two or three albums per day (post/alternative/progressive music, hard-rock/heavy-metal, classic-rock). |

I work from home, I have my own company. So I have music on all the time, and I have a classical radio station on all night. The only time I don't listen to music is if I am transcribing Swedish film dialogue, interviews, etc. which requires cans and a lot of concentration. I would say on average, that I probably listen to music for somewhere between 14 and 18 out of any 24 hours. And most of it is not prog. |

Crikey! You listen to even more music than I do, and I thought I listened to a lot. Most of the music I listen to isn't prog either.

Some days I listen to music (mostly prog) for several hours, but other days I don't listen to any music at all. There isn't really any regularity to my music listening time, so it's difficult to work out an average with any sort of accuracy. But I suppose that an hour a day would be a reasonable guesstimate. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

I work from home often, so the music is playing usually from about 10am to about 6pm M-F, this is not critical listening so I probably soak in maybe 60%.....Weekends I'll spin records all day long, so I'll get 6-8 albums in a day. I play all media vinyl, CD, hi-rez files and reel to reel tapes even. -------------

According to my last.fm account I averaged 62 scrobbles a day during 2019, 67 scrobbles a day in January, and 65 scrobbles a day in February. I am basically listening to music from 6 am to 6 pm except when in meetings. I'd say mostly prog, but also metal and classic rock with the occasional pop artist thrown in from time to time. -------------

What's a scrobble? It sounds like a word game you play with song titles.

Thanks for the info. That's the first time I'd ever heard of a scrobble today.
