Was listening to Yanni now whilst I read. Honestly though I prefer silence 

 I’m listening to classical. Makes the book more epic 

 Actually now that I think about it, it would be awesome if the reader app played music corresponding to the mood of the page 

 there is listening.

there is reading.

and ne'er the two shall...

 That’s the way for some of us.  

 EDM study music on youtube. There is one with a black bird on it. My fave.  

 Instrumental, yes 

 Instrumental only yes. 

 lol sometimes I listen to audiobooks as I read… honestly now that think about it, I don’t know how I don’t get stuff mixed up badly… well as long as you don’t ask my wife 🤣 

 wtf 

 🤷‍♂️ 

 My multitasking brain loves this. 

 yes. but wordless. 

 Preferably something with no lyrics 

 I like to listen heavy metal. 

 How the hell do you guys do that? The words start mixing in my brain if I do that. 

 Never 

 no they do not.

there is no such thing. 

 listen to music, but can't listen to podcast. can't absorb 2 different "new" pieces of info. Music is fine. 

 Beethoven...  At Starbucks.
 

 I listen to lofi sounds/music when i read 

 No. 

 instrumentals, yes.
Words, lyrics, activate my brain and can't read. 

 Likewise 

 Oh, often I do. 

 I used to listed to albums on repeat while reading, so if I hear one of those songs it will recall a portion of the book that I was reading at that time. 

 Chinoiseries by Onra is pretty good to listen to. 

 I sometimes do. 

 Yes.  I listen; but, I can't hear it.

 Blasphemy 

 Sure thing, burzum in the left ear and crimson king in the right.  

 only if it's like an ambient genre, i cannot focus enough specially when someone is talking near me. 

 I'm always listening music. Rather I could say I'm doing different unimportant tasks while listening music. 😎
