I'm a musician ('cellist), and have never been able to deal with music as "background". If music is playing (live or through a stereo system), it's my foreground, and it must be the only thing I deal with. When I'm playing something on the stereo, it's because I intend to sit in my listening chair, and listen (eyes closed, usually; just as when I perform solo works on stage).When I read a book, or I'm at the computer, or even if I'm cooking...no music on the stereo. I'll listen to something like NPR radio (news, etc.), but again, no "background" music.
I sometimes get the feeling that people have been so influenced by film and television, they can't imagine life without a constant musical "soundtrack" (truth be told, I often find film soundtracks to be terribly distracting; unfairly dividing my attention between music and drama). For me, music is too distracting, so I have to sit down and listen to it. If I need to get anything else done, the music is off. When I visit friends, and they have music playing in the background, I often find myself distracted--and/or irritated--by either the music, or the conversation...depending on whichever is more, or less interesting. :)
