How does one "Get lost in the music"?


I seem to have lost the ability over the years. Is there a routine you guys follow to get yourself into that state?

My mind is constantly drifting/thinking when i am listening. My equipment is very musical and hiend in nature so i cant blame my equipment for my inability to get emotionally attached.

I dont expect to get into this state everytime i listen, but would like it to happen at least weekly.

Any advice is much appreciated

man, you must be under a lot of stress, or preoccupied about something.

perhaps talking to someone might help.
my suggestion is to see a psychotherapist, take a tranquilizer, or have a glass of wine.

direct communication of the personal kind is more efficacious than positing on a discussion forum.
it's easy to immerse oneself in the music. find components that don't distract you, so that you are not trying to analyze their faults.

it is also a function of mindset , as well.
if its the music that is primary, it doesn't matter what the sources is--boom box, radio, stereo, sing to yourself.

if you like music there should no problem enjoying it. provided you don't have "non compos mentis" syndrome.

any sane person can enjoy music, regardless of sound quality.
