I no longer listen to the radio while I am online. I have the TV on. Not so much about following what is no TV, but I just need the "sound" to indicate of life and that I am not alone. The power of multi-tasking - browsing at what is on the computer screen and that of the TV. lol.

Hmmm... I think that you have a point there on the sound of the TV signifies that you are really not alone. That's also the reason why I would have to turn on the tv whenever I study. That's a really good rationale.

I have listened to radio whilst checking e-mails and browsing a few times, but sometimes if I am answering posts or reading something, it can become a distraction, so I turn it off. - Derek

I think that if you are typing something or doing something. The music really can become a distraction. You tend to sing more than typing and thinking of answers.

browsing without listening to music just like being in the cemetery. silent and deserted. boring. So to eliminate the boredom, I often listen to music. Online radio? I never liked the things that particularly noisy to hear especially announcer's voice which sometimes not clear

I may not listen to the radio all the time, but I do enjoy listening to music. Music helps me to focus really well. When I'm doing homework or even cleaning my house music helps the time pass, and prevents me from getting bored or sidetracked. I love all genres of music, so I just pick different music for my mood.

Yes i do, when I am browsing the net I listen to music. I switched on the regular station here 96.3 Easy Rock or sometimes 93.1 RX Fm or 99.5 RT. During the night I listen to 102.7 Star FM because it plays mellow songs. While browsing, when I am listening to music it energize and inspire me much more when I heard my favorite songs. At the same time , when that song plays it is the time also to research for the lyrics of the song.

Hello, Phillip. It's been a while since i participated in your discussion. For me, it depends on my mood. I do listen to music but trough "youtube" so that I can pick and have a control over the type of music I want to listen. But if concentration and thinking is required i prefer quite place. I get easily destructed if i hear any noise. That's why if I'm participating here in mylot I prefer a quiet place in able to think.

I love listening to AM stations. I do this to be updated with what's happening outside. I can always listen to music but preferred listening to news and commentaries-- i want to be updated. If i need to to concentrate more i listen to mellow music... any instrumental music will keep me sane and focus with my work.

I listen to music *very* often. Not while I'm trying to actually concentrate on something like homework (because my music is too upbeat for me to be able to focus on both!), but other than that - definitely! I usually just pull up YouTube, because it's easier to search for my own things instead of wait for them to come up on the radio itself. I'd suggest Kiss FM, KLTY, and The Mix. They're all good FM stations (:

I listen to online radio (http://moorange.communitytoolbars.com) whenever my browser is open since I use a toolbar to make it more simple and convenient to use and it doesn't occupy another window on my desktop. Plus I can search and select online radio stations! Hao!

Hi Phillip, I do this everyday. While driving to work I listen to my favorite local morning radio show, and when I reach the office I immediate switch on my computer to continue listening to it online. Indeed internet is such a wonder it allows us to do many things, and not miss the things that make us happy.

I have all my cd's put into my computer, so I will most often have a mixture of stuff from them playing. As for radio, I also quite often listen to English radio online. I am from England and live in America. Some of the stations I used to listen to in England I can now listen to online here, so I will do so, especially if I am homesick and need to hear an English accent. Its also good for keeping up with the important things in life, like English football!
