I know of at least three possible minds for this. Pretty sure we all assumed we were typical until talking about it.
One friend of mine is like you, and finds music horribly distracting to reading.
Another friend becomes practically deaf while reading, so music is just irrelevant.
I, on the third hand, can sing along to songs I know, while reading. I can possibly even do this for simple songs I don’t know. I would suspect this is not optimal reading from a comprehension or speed perspective, but it’s a lot of fun.
