Am I the only person who just doesn't listen to music? Like, I can appreciate a good song, but music in the background while I do anything (study, cubing, games) just distracts me. Listening would have to be the primary thing I'm doing, and I just have other things I'd rather focus on...
 
I'm exactly the same Jason. Whenever I'm doing cubing sessions (anything from 5 to 500 solves) I find that I do a lot better when I don't listen to music. I experimented with listening to music while cubing for a while, but I found that I'm actually faster when I don't listen to music.
 
Have you tried listening to music before you cube? Apparently, music stimulates your brain, so you are faster for a short time. I believe this is called the Mozart effect (I think because people found that listening to Mozart's music made your brain peform better, although this works with any music)
