To me, music is a intrusive noise. It gets in the way of my thoughts and prevents my structuring a sentence. Lately a friend has been trying to introduce me to some music he likes. Upon hearing my response to it, he said, "You seem to get the same things out of music as everyone else; you just don't seem to need any of it.

A few people had sent me mp3 files and to the untrained eye, I may have had a small music collection of about a hundred tracks. I deleted them all the other week, as a general clear-out of my hard-disc space. It didn't even cross my mind that people don't normally throw out their entire music collection (such as it was) because they'd rather have the space.

Can anyone else identify with this? Does it have a name? Oh, and in case you're wondering, I'm not tone-deaf or anything. I was tested for amusia last year and they concluded that I've got an excellent sense of pitch.
