I don't listen to music, except classical on Pandora at work when someone is talking and I need to concentrate.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I listen to music in the car. Sirius or CDs. There's an iPod dock in the car, which I thought would be great, but I've never bothered to even make a playlist, and the random shuffle would annoy me... yeah. I don't listen to music much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Actually, I only really use my iPod in the car. At home I'm more likely to use Pandora. Otherwise I'd never hear anything new. Also, I can't work out how to connect my iPod to my Chumby. Though it is supposed to work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
iPods in cars are great for long road trips, so you don't have to swap CDs while driving.

Our wings are not tired.
I've never rated anything in iTunes, either, Lisa. You're not alone.
Sara, bummer about the car. Mine has 160K on it and I'm still dithering, even with a super shiny 1.4% loan offer from BofA on what to do next. I haven't decided if I am keeping the Forester as the dogmobile and getting a little commuter/city car or if I am trading in for one car. Usually it doesn't take me this long to make a decision. Part of my problem is that pain is not conducive to energy for test-driving. And I need to do some test-driving.

I don't even listen to my music at the gym, it's a pain having to mess with earbuds.

I barely ever listen to music on my iPhone - I prefer podcasts and lecture series.

Yeah, I don't rate things in iTunes either. Every once in a while I think I should, and then I get bored thinking about it after about a couple of songs. I guess ratings would be handy when I'm "packing" the iPod for a trip, but that's such an infrequent event.
But I mostly listen to podcasts & audios. I can see how it'd be handy if was a big user of shuffle or smartlists, but I'm not; if I am playing music it's usually because I want to listen to something specific.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't been listening to music lately (though I do listen to a lot of podcasts), but I assume that will pass eventually and I will want to finish importing my CDs into iTunes and maybe rate my songs. I can see how that would be useful even though I cannot, at this point in time, be bothered to do it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't rate anything in iTunes because I still use Winamp to listen to music. How can iTunes not have a Jump feature where I just type a few characters in either the song or the artist name and hit Enter or add to a Queue? Hell, why is there no way to just add songs to a Queue anyway? Also, why can't you stop, only pause?
