First, the setting. I live in a townhouse with a reasonably large living room which opens to a dining room/kitchen/den half a level up. The music system is in the living room but can be heard easily from the other mentioned rooms. The TV (flat screen with modest surround system) is in an upstairs bed room.
I consider my listening to be either active or passive. I treat the active listening as if attending a concert. I go to the sweet spot in the living room and give the music my full attention. The only diversion may be to briefly read liner notes. The micro brew or single malt is not considered a diversion. ;-)
Passive listening for me is background. I may be at my computer in the den, working on a project at the dining room table, cooking, eating, whatever. Any music then becomes background or secondary.
Reading recently about multi-tasking, scientists have learned that humans cannot do more than two things at once and be effective. I can be aware of the music playing while I'm doing something else but I truly can only concentrate on one item at a time. If I try reading while music is playing I realize I loose track of the music completely (assuming I'm reading something interesting).
