I listen to them ALL the time ussually 5-10 times a day, i render them to mp3 when i'm at a minute or so, listen to the short bits like 50 times on the way to school, so i can edit everything later, i always listen to my songs to hear what mistakes i made, what can i improve in the future etc.

I tend to give my tracks the "car stereo" test to see how nice the bass and levels are. Usually after that I burn em to a cd with some other stuff and listen to em in the car. I listen to my dj mixes more than my music probably.

I like to my own tracks almost only while I make them... once they are finished.. I tend to don't give a crap... Maybe that's because I'm not quite satisfied yet about my work.

Yeah, I do that a lot actually. I had to delete my original Last.fm profile because I fucked up my Most Listened Artists chart by listening to my own stuff so much.

It's not like I'm conceded or anything, lol. I do it to get new ideas, and so I know what not to do. For example, all of my older stuff has TERRIBLE clipping throughout - before I even knew the importance of Limiting/EQ-ing. So, my newer stuff sounds a lot cleaner.

Whenever I finish a track, I actually export it and import to iTunes, tag it, slap the artwork on, name it - everything. I do all that just so I can hear everything without any latency and to see if the name matches, etc. I listen to it a bunch of times to make sure it's exactly how I want it; if not, I go back to Fruity Loops or GarageBand or whatever and re-edit. And whenever I get a few tracks together, I listen to them in different order to get the flow right. So... all that makes for a lot of listens. :P

Sorry for writing a book, haha.

I do the whole itunes thing also. I just like making lil art for each track. Plus it looks nifty when your song pops up and you have a lil pic to go with it.
