As well as what others have said about the aesthetic experience, I find it useful for taking up ‘processing power’ in my brain, making it easier to focus on something. For example if I’m doing fairly dull work having free ‘processor cycles’ in my brain will cause me to get distracted and divert myself away from what I need to be doing, but music in the background can take up some of that so I dont get s distracted.
