My question for you and the poster below: Sitting in a dark room listening, do your thoughts never wander to things unrelated to the music? If so, I admire your focus. My mind doesn't work that way. Without a narrative or a task, I have to force myself to concentrate.

Not trying to be argumentative, just continuing what I think is an interesting discussion.

. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .

... I doze off. However I still see that as different from reading or web browsing which are intentional distractions.

yes it's an interesting discussion of sorts - Story 06:30:05 01/09/24 (0)
once a week or four I sit and listen to just the music. Other times I'm using music to type and read stuff on the web etc.

Sitting down somewhere and closing the eyes takes away many distractions for concentrating on the music. Darkening the room also helps but not as good as closing them.

Early morning or late night is also better. This is what I've found but YMMV. Interruptions inevitably occur at other times like the wife, the phone...

The entire experience is supposed to be enjoyable and take you away from the world
