It's hard to study with music, especially when you're trying to learn something over and over... Sigh Anatomy and Physiology...

If I am working I have no aversion to music playing. If I was studying for school or whatever, depending on the importance of the work, I would, or wouldn't have music playing. I can be distracting, but it can also help zone you out. All depends on the work really.

I do, but I usually try to have it be something that doesn't have a lot going on. I need some more ambient stuff.

I find that listening to classical music helps quite a bit with my concentration, as long as it's not too loud. So yeah, I try to listen to that when I'm working on something.

Nup. I can't, it's way too distracting. I have to have a clear mind when working.

Same as when I'm trying to sleep, I like music without lyrics. Or with indistinguishable lyrics (Sigur Ros)

I have it down low whenever I am, most of the time it tends to distract me.

Most of the time, yes. But sometimes I just can't focus with music playing.

No because it either distracts me or I tune it out completely to a point where there is no point for it to even be on.

I try to whenever I can, but for some reason when I am at the college, I feel like my music is too loud sometimes with headphones on so I don't have it on when I am studying there.

I rarely study, but on the off chance that I do, I'll probably listen to music while I do it.

I tend not to listen to music when studying. I'll listen to music when doing homework or writing a paper though.

Assuming you're studying for a test or exam, it's less effective to study while listening to music unless you're allowed to listen to music when you're actually writing the test. Your environment where your studying vs. where you write your test actually has a legitimate impact on how well you remember what you studied.

Yes, it helps me focus better, but sometimes it can be a distraction becuase you get too involved into the song
