I can read and have music playing but I am a male (single purpose) and, unlike a female (multiple purpose), I cannot do both at the same time. I can only switch back and forth.

No either one will be zoned out. That is either music becomes background noise or I will not grasp what I read and have to go back. So I don't listen to stuff when I need to focus.
I found that I retain what I read better if I listen to music as long as there isn't any words. Replaying the music in my head helps me remember what I read while listening to it.

No, I’m not a multi talker. Probably the only woman who isn’t.
when online i have a few pages going one always music on and loud
To me reading and listening to music is the same as reading and listening to someone talking to me. I can not do it nor can my wife.
Yes. That’s how I study/do Uni work all the time 😂 I can’t do it if I don’t have music on 😅
I prefer to read in silence. I love the peace & quiet.
No, I usually need it to be really quiet for me to focus on what I'm reading.

I can’t concentrate on reading when listening to music
Just one of them can be done
Depends.
It has to be music without words. Anything else, no, I can’t.
Ever watched a teenager study for a test? They have headphones on while they read.

Lmao my mom hates it when I do that 😂. I listen to songs while doing homework/practicing math but not while studying, like reading something lol
Sometimes
Depends on the song and whats happening in the book
Music helps drown out small discordant noises that can disrupt your reading

Haven’t tried it yet but music without lyrics might be helpful.
In reading this and typing this at the same time while listening to Mac Miller
Yes, I also think it drowns out the background noises - sort of "evens them out" in a way. Helps me to focus on what I'm reading.
