Music at Work

the Bear SG

what do you listen to?

how do you play the music?

at work, i have a crappy radio which i use to tune to BBC World Service (it requires a regular beating tho' Laughing )

other times, i put MP3s through the PC either from the discs i burn or through the 4GB flash drive...

i will listen to a lot of things, from Corrinne May and Jamie Cullum to Nickelback and Nightwish

and all the other stuff in between Smile

the speakers are the crappy monitor speakers.. i'm too lazy to go buy proper speakers which will give me better sound.. besides, it's not nice to have a 5.1 or 2.1 set in the office Laughing

Not listening to any music at work. If I do listen to music, I will only play those light music like Kevin Kern's music and I usually play it softly in the background.

My other colleagues will usually use a headphone if they are listening to music which I think it's the best way for an open office environment. Imagine having different people playing different pop music in the office... Neutral

hmm.. feel like getting a pair of headphones.. those that cancel out outside noises Twisted Evil

oh, anyone has recommendations for wireless headphones? want to get for use in my room...

I normally listen to fusion jazz and music from various anime soundtracks at work.

I have Winamp loaded on my laptop at work, and use that to play back the MP3 files and CDs. I listen to the music through a pair of old 80s-vintage Koss TNT-88 headphones that still sound fantastic by today's starndards.

Last time my work place is manufacturing oriented.. Labour intensive. then everyday got radio 97.2 Laughing

the Bear SG

what's on 97.2?

if it's one of those chinese stations which churn out sugary pop music, i'd quit immediately Razz

I listen to the ipod at low volumes in the office, so that I can still talk to people and pick up the phone without having to remove my earbuds Laughing

I'd rather just leave a small radio on but my boss is very sensitive to sound Mad

Master -_- SG

i play songs to reflect my mood..

Now it's Bread - If Crying or Very sad

Actually I'm kinda thankful that people here don't play their music in the open.

At a previous workplace there was this lady who played music on the pc via speakers , and I was sitting near her in the same section.... and she would play the same song over and over and over again. My gawd it was hell, Sammi fan also don't need to laidat right.

I didn't know how to tell her to please turn it off cos I wasn't close to her (and it was that sort of bitchy work environment ). So I had to tolerate her Sammi Chinese dancey-pop song everyday!

Rhonda SG

I think when it comes to music in the workplace, I tend to agree with choco. When I was holding a corporate job, I won't play my music until it's after-hours and even then, softly so that my colleagues in the cubicles next to mine won't be disturbed.

One man's meat is another man's poison.

In camp, my mates and I had our own computers, so we either copied the songs onto the hard disk or played straight from the CD Razz That was until a few virus attacks occured (not started b any of us) and our CD drives and USB ports were disabled.

After that, I simply brought my old discman along and hooked it up to the monitor speakers. They were better than the in-built ones. Laughing

I had my whole collection in there: U2, Coldplay, Crowded House, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nat King Cole, Bossa Nova, the Bee Gees, Franz Ferdinand, the Rolling Stones, Jem, Katherine Jenkin, Oasis, Rogue Traders, The Police... Mr. Green

They weren't a hit with the others, but I didn't like the Scissors Sisters songs they played either. Twisted Evil

YA.YA SG

Try Sennheiser. Its not bad.

shinta SG

my mp3s..

current hod dun like.. so my volume is at (estimate) 1% Laughing loud enuff for me to hear... but soft enuff for her NOT to hear it when she's next to me talkin to my colleague sittin next to me Very Happy

aHGer^83 SG

ShrodingersCat SG

Shocked

When I listen to music at work it is usually....

'london bridge is falling down falling down.. falling down...'

that I turn on during snack times while the kids are eating Razz

Its the first song of a Kids Song CD and I only listen to that to make sure its turned on, then after that I 'tune off'. Totally don't know which song comes next.

juz_A_gal SG

Any radio station in English or Chinese will do for me. I also think any music should be kept at a low volume, unless the next cubicle requests it be turned up a notch.
Absolutely love Rod Steward's great american songbook Vol 2 cd.... always manages to perk me up at work.
