As I said in my other reply, different people like different things. I don't want an adventure. I want the passive experience. I do other things while listening to music (work, read, tinker, ...). I almost always have some music playing, but rarely do I just listen to music (it does happen though). I'll pick styles depending on mood or task, it's like the rails that keep me on track while working (as an example). If I'm not listening to music, I lose focus.

I simply can't do that with an article or other medium that requires my primary attention. I don't feel a sense of fulfillment either, but increasingly annoyed that reading this thing about music is taking more and more time. Believe me when I tell you, it's not for me.
