Mainly when it's uplifting music, and I usually play best when listening to music, and my mind isn't drowning in calculations. That actually hinders me, since I can't think clearly. I believe the term was Chess Blindness, but I've noticed that I've been less likely to blunder games when I play with music in. When I'm trying to immerse in the real world, I have it playing out loud. If I'm trying to immerse into my device when playing, I play it in the device.
