Hi Paige,
Yep, I've had that problem before from time to time as well. In general, though, I don't listen to music nearly as much as I used to, so it's not a real issue for me. Previously, if a musician/group which I was interested in released a new CD or if I got it in my head that I wanted to have a particular album I wouldn't be satisfied until I got it, now I can just take it or leave it, and mostly I just leave it. Not sure if that's related to my Zazen practice or if it just means I'm getting older. :)
