      Casual listening is not the same thing as listening to a music as a hobby. Hobbyists like myself will listen to an album without doing anything else. It’s definitely not “meant” to be a secondary activity. No shade of that’s how you listen, though.

      That is a very odd take on auditory media, from my perspective. Do you not focus on music or podcasts you listen to? Are you always doing something else?

        As with most things, it depends. I could listen to an audiobook while working out but not while programming. I could listen to instrumental music while reading a book, but I couldn’t focus with a vocal track included. Some podcasts might require you to listen to every word while others may only require you to feel the overall topic.

        Doing other things at the same time helps me focus on whatever I’m listening to.

        I fidget a lot so it would be distracting to sit still and just listen.

        I can have music as “background noise” but podcasts no way, if I am not focusing on what someone else is communicating, what is the point?
