I firmly believe that is a great mistake lots of players do, I also did at the beginning because I was getting bored but I dropped due to the fact that I wasn't attentive.Are you bored?Open more tables till you are constantly busy with poker.Why multitasking??Why shooting yourself in the leg? Why on PS if you looking just for fun?? You want an edge over the fish but you just sabotage yourself with music.
When you do one thing like learning, you just learn and nothing else, you play poker ,that's what you only do.
I want to ask you guys who play with music , do you also listen to your mp3 while watching tv or gettin laid for instance??When you concentrate your attention on one thing you do it at 100% quality. If you multitask you divide your attention on 2 + thing, so divide the quality to poker and music,resulting you play with roughly 50% your potential.
So do yourself a favour and next time you listen to music to stay off of tilt or other excuses you invent, just turn off your PC for god's sake and your BR's sake.
Stop shooting yourself in the leg!
i cannot focus without music.

I like listening to music while I'm playing. It calms me down and kinda makes me focus better. A big mistake, tough, is to listen to music and start singing along... Then you 100% lose focus on your game. So if you start singing it's obvious it's distracting you, rather than helping you.
Deppends on my mood. Mostly I play while watching poker or a tv series/movie, somtimes I listen to music other times I just focus on the table(s).
Guess im not the avg man seeing as multitasking while playing poker doesnt affect my decision making one bit, and I believe its easier to avoid tilt if you are relaxed and feel good about whats going on around you and within yourself. It atleast helps for me at times when I play. One time I even reed through Gus Hansen`s every hand revealed while playing a tournament and I ended second in it cause I practiced what I learned straight away and I just felt so much more focused and ready for anything than before.
In short I think doing things that make you excited like watching a training video from this site or a movie/listen to music that gets the adrenaline pumping can help a group of people that react too it like I do.

I do play music while getting laid, covers some of the noise and my flatmates dont bugger me too much 
No music here when multi tabling but will consider when playing SNG or just few tables!
This is what i play usualy. I play better without music, but when i start getting irritated when some donkey calls my bets with Q-2 high and then makes runner runner for three of a kind and that happens like several times. I just have to listen to music so i will stay calm.
That or Michael Jackson, or some rock bands. I found heavy rock or metal not good for concentrating although that's what i mostly listen too.
But yeah i actualy made a youtube playlist just for this song and i will just keep it on repeat ♦

Thanks guy.
Judges never wrote to me +1 when i made a comment in hand evaluation.
it so nice to get some '+1' here:))
+3 i guess ♦
I don't listen to music till I get through bubble in SNG I'm playing, if I manage to get till Heads-Up, then I turn on some hobo blues - it's epic, it's win - it lead me to almost all first places. ♦

Agreed.
If there is too much noise around(my PC is unfortunately in the living room, already working on it) I put on my headset and listen to something that calms me down. Philip Glass works well. Rock music really-really draws my attention from poker.

Just for fun, you should check out this version if you haven't already.
But to answer the original question I usually don't do anything other than poker if I'm multitabling more than 4 tables. But I do occasionally listen to music if my mind starts to wander and I lose focus.
It's not an option for me to add more tables where I play the most (everest) because my screen simply cannot fit more than 9 tables at a time.
