Whether you listen to music through a phone or a mp3 player, you'll probably have listened to it through your computer first. Something most gamers share is that they like listening to music while they play their game. There are various ways to listen to music while gaming. Off the top of my head, I can think of iTunes, Youtube, and Pandora. iTunes is an easy way to set up a playlist and just play songs. All it takes is just essentially a drag and drop of a .mp3 file. Youtube is also just as easy, but it might make you lag a bit if you set-up can't take it. Lastly, there's Pandora, which might be a bit harder for us in Canada to set up. You need to set up a proxy first, as Pandora doesn't like any other country other than the US. However if you can get through all of that, Pandora is a nice way of listening to music. Pandora is pretty much just a radio station, but it's still pretty good.
Listening to music while playing the game is the exact same as doing homework or classwork while listening. It helps you focus on the task at hand. I'm not very good at gaming myself, but when I play a game like, "League of Legends" alone, I almost always have something playing in the background. It's a lot more refreshing than having the same sounds play almost every 10 seconds. Not only that, I feel that certain games do require a level of concentration. To somewhat prove my point, sometimes professional streamers will almost always have something playing in the background. That's it from me today, I bid you adieu.

The Xbox 360 has a feature that is rarely used but it is perfect for listening to music while gaming. If you have a PC you can stream from your library to your console and play music off the dashboard. It's pretty swell listening to music while gaming and to have it integrated to every game is quite the feature.
ReplyDeletePersonally, i don't really like music and I think it's a kind of distraction when I try to focus, I wonder how people focus on their work while listening to music.
ReplyDeleteI see you are obviously in envy my amazing toaster posts so you decide to take some ideas and use them as your own, well i really like it but do you know if theres a less manlier version of this toaster? or is this the only one at the current time?
ReplyDeleteI can't listen to music when i play games. I get too distracted and fall off a cliff, or get shot, or lose all my rings or something.
ReplyDeleteGaming soundtracks are usually immersive to the point where external sources of music are distracting, however, I do agree that when doing a grind on a game where the music and sound fx get repetitive other sources of music are welcome.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes like listening to music while I game, I often find I'm more relaxed and I have a better time.
ReplyDeleteThis post has nothing to do with the toaster, I have been misled. F+ post.
ReplyDeleteListening to music is fine as long as you are some kind of casual, if you want to take things seriously no music is the way to go.
