1.5 to 2 hours during my commute, depending on traffic. Sometimes I hope for a traffic jam so that I can get through another album.
2-6 additional hours while at work, depending on how much I need to interact with co-workers or customers. When I was younger and had less responsibility at work, I could easily listen for 7-8 hours or more.
Almost none at home.

What an original poll. Really good. On the work days I only listen in the car and in the mp3 when I go to sleep. As an average 2 hours or maybe a bit more depending on the day. On the weekends I extends to 4 hours. As an average 3 hs. Almost always progrock or prog related.

I went with the more than 8 option. I'm the guy in the next cube with the music going so I get a full eight hours at work, add another two hours on the commute and at least an hour at home. iPods are a wonderful thing. I do have about a half hour a night that I actually just turn everything off and only listen to music, but most of the time it's the accompaniment to my life.

on my Dutch weekdays including my commute time, around 6 hours (as soon as I'm home, i put on music until bed time >> no TV)
On Begian w-e, a fair amount less (despite concerts), because of other activities (family, friends , girlfriend, etc...)
So on average I'd say in ballpark figures, roughly five hours/day

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Anywhere from 4 to 12, based on the level of activity.

Hmmm yeah...I'd say music is music (as long as you want to listen and its not just playing somwhere) even on those days I leave the house....I will have the radio on (there are good stations by me) CD's in or my mp3 player.

8 but its always been like that. Today is the exception not the rule as I only have heard about 3 hours worth. I have the music on while I am doing things for about 80% of that 8 hours. Also lucky that I am home alone for about 6 hours a day as everybody is working (Day time). 1 hour would be in the car from that 8 hours of time.
Somtimes though I just listen to the noises of everday life and have nothing playing. Always though there still is music even when none is playing because the great Avante muscians are at it. ( THE BIRDS outside)

I think it ALL counts. Music in TV commercials, in the background on TV news and sports shows, at the grocery store, book store or restaurant, in the car, the guy's radio in the cubicle next to you at work, when you're on hold on the phone, the girl whistling in the hallway, the song that's stuck in your head. John Cage said that "Everything we do is music", and he might be right. Oh yeah, and the stuff you actually WANT to hear...

most of mine comes from the hour-long commute to and from work on top of that, I often run my ipod through a guitar amp so I can listen to music whenever I'm in the basement - another couple hours a day

Its easy when you do nothing. Even easier once you become wallpaper and hours/days cease to exist and you live on your plane of time.

well at work there's a radio in each area of the building, but my job involves moving around a lot so I really wouldn't count that plus we all know they don't play music on the radio. That leaves about 4 hours a day, I guess

Six to eight. I listen to it when I work out in the morning, as I read in the afternoon and when I'm about to hit the hay. But then, I do occasionally go out for adventures...
