What do you do when you listen to music?

An Audiophile friend of mine surprised me when he said he listens to music for 2-3 hours per day.
And when he says "Listen" he means that he actively listens; just sits and listens.

Does not read, does not thumb through magazines... Just listens in the "sweet spot" in his living room and becomes immersed in the music.

I NEVER do that. But then I am not an Audiophile (yet).

I do the same as your friend. I disconnect my eyes and see the music through my ears. In full color. It is a wonderful experience I enjoy every day. Sometimes I read but generally can't because the music calls too much of my attention.

Keep getting up to find next lp or cd to play.

I'll start to read or cruise the internet or do something else but almost always stop, put the book down or close the laptop, and just listen. Like Arthur said, the music gets my full attention every time.

Sometimes I just listen, actually these are the best times. I have also scheduled days where I will sit down and listen to music from the early morning 5-6am until noon, do something outside and repeat after supper until late into the night. I have had friends over who think I am crazy, until they sit in the music room, then they too can sit there for hours just listening.
