DU office workers, are you allowed to listen to music? and what kind?

[charlie and algernon]

I go crazy if the building gets too quiet and can't concentrate, but my office room is tucked away so I can listen to XM radio online, usually classical or jazz. Though on Friday afternoons I'll put it on the classic rock station and no one in the lobby can hear it :headbang:

1. anykind I like

and if I feel ornery I will put it on the paging system. My coworkers play R&B alllooottt. I serenade till they are crazy with The Who, Hendrix, Zepplin

CB

[TommyO]

2. No streaming media access here

But I listen to anything and everything on my iPod with no problems. I keep the volume low, and try not to play Green Day's American Idiot (too much)

:D

[MrCoffee]

3. It's all about the headphones, yo.

[supernova]

4. Yes, if you have a personal player and headphones

You can't stream online (too much bandwidth) but MP3 payers and radios with headphones are fine. Though radio reception is lousy in this building.

5. Tiny little cheap CD player - classical only, volume waaaaay down

[SteppingRazor]

6. I've got this amazing technology called an iPod...

that allows me to listen to stuff through these things called headphones, so no one in the office cares what I listen to.

:P

7. I can listen to anything I want as long as I have headphones.

So far today I've listened to NIN's and Opeth's excellent "Blackwater Park".

[Crabby Appleton]

8. No streaming media permitted, but you can play music/radio

as long as you don't annoy people near you; I listen to mp3 player with headphones.

[LSK]

9. I listen NovaM, Howard Stern, di.fm. mp3s, psytrance radio

I am always listening to something.

[dropkickpa]

10. I stream

rock, rap, bluegrass, reggae, etc so on and so forth, whatever strikes my fancy!

[1gobluedem]

11. I'm required to listen to jazz and blues from 9 to 4

Because I work at a radio station whose format is NPR, jazz, and blues.

I once interviewed a woman for my assistant's position who told me she didn't think she "could work with that radio playing all day long." She didn't get the job. :rofl:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

12. Anything I want

I have a CD player/radio with headphones. I like all kinds of music esp international or ethnic. Have some Mediterranean, Greek, Middle Eastern CD's. Just got a 5 CD German music set. Don't understand a friggin word but I like the music.

[GOPisEvil]

13. No streaming allowed. But I can listen to my iPod.

As long as I can hear the phone ring, it's all good.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. I can listen to whatever I want, and often do. Sometimes I play guitar.

But when the secretary is around, she likes her classical radio station, so I let her have that.
