Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Mar. 12–The mild-mannered accountant plugging away at your taxes might be jamming to Nine Inch Nails. The co-worker next to you? Rocking out to Journey.

If they have iPods — and more and more people do — many workers are taking their music libraries with them to work. They say it helps them concentrate. Some say it even makes them more creative.

“I use my iPod constantly,” said Eric Sollenberger, 34, a Web designer from Dover Township.

In his full-time job, Sollenberger does Web design for a company in Lancaster. He said that work is “not very creative, it’s more droning,” and he uses the music on his iPod to get him through that work.

    Why is all this Ipod news so “ground-breaking” and front page worthy? We have had portable music devices for well over 20 years now listening to music at work is no more a new phenomenon then say a sony walkman from 1983.
