Headphones are fine where I work. But speakers? No way.

at night, I work retail and the muzak playing the same lame crap all the time makes me wanna kill myself....
I agree, certain types of music can be very disturbing and distracting. That's why in many settings it's best to not expect a group of employees to have to listen to the same genre because what's irritating to one may be pleasant to another.

We have no overall policy. Some people play music, others do not.

I am a manager at a college.

I once experienced a work area where five different radio stations were blasting at the same time. I don't know how those people could stand working in that area; I got a headache just being there for five minutes.

So far, I don't think anyone has answered the op's question - which was 'How many are NOT allowed to listen to music at work?'

You must have forgotten where we are. C-D land, where questions become free-for-alls for any and all thoughts on the subject at large.
