What an interesting question.  I find myself doing this all the time.  But I dont know if it's limited to college students.  i never did it when I was in high school, but I couldn't drive then.  I don't know why I do it, I just really love music and when driving, well you not really doing anything but listening to music, it's not like it's playing in the background and you doing schoolwork, or talking to friends.  \n\nSo if you are paying attention to just the  music, it's good to have it loud, because it's your only activity and you are focusing on it. \n\nAs for having the windows open?  I dont know why, but I find myself doing it as well.  I guess when the weather is nice, you want to open the windows to enjoy it.  Then again, this may be the reason why the music needs to be loud, because of the sound of the wind coming in the window.

Hi,\nIt generally happens that due to power failure or any other Disk I/O error, windows does not successfully close the files. In such a case, it considers them as lost file fragments and converts them all to .CHK extension with a trucated length.\nYou may be able to play the songs (though I have never seen such a thing happening). So, the best thing you can do is to change the extensions manually to .mp3 and continue using the files as you did earlier on.\n\nTo prevent any such incidences in future, always shut down your PC and dont switch is off directly.\nUse a UPS if possible

Because it's their home. Why don't people abandon the Middle East? Why don't people leave San Francisco after all all of California will float off one day. Why don't people leave Chicago. God they have heat waves there all the time. While we are at it, why don't we all move to Kansas where it's safe. OH yeah  that's right  tornadoes. Hurricanes are bad but there are many other places with natural disasters. Just because you're home gets hit by a really bad, house falling down snow storm every once in awhile doesn't mean you are going to leave it. It' snot like New Orleans gets wiped out every year or something and every year the coast gets hit. It doesn't mean that every last inch of it gets destroyed. My parents house on the Gulf Coast is fine. So are all my other friends and families homes. If they have a perfectly good home there   why the .... would they leave.

I had the same problem last year. Two really hot Marines moved in next door who thought it was socially acceptable to blair their music at 2 on a Tuesday morning. I've adopted the three strikes rule. I give verbal warning two times, just really politely go to their apartment and say, "Hey guys, I'm trying to sleep, I've got class in the morning, could you please turn it down." On the third time, I let them know that if they can't turn it down, I'm going to have to call the police for a noise violation. If that doesn't work (and it hasn't on at least two occassions), I call the police. \n\nIt seems really mean but you pay good money to live in your apartment and there's no reason why you can't expect to have quiet during normal sleeping hours (which I consider to be between 10-6).

well if its loud enough to disturb them then yes you should probably turn it down a little\n\nin a way by yelling outside of your door they might feel they are giving you a taste of your own medicine, I mean its still rude of them, I'm just saying try and understand where their fustrations come from\n\nalso it might help if you move the TV/speakers away from any walls near your neighbours, that might lessen the noise for them

yeah..its irritating.\nsome people do that intentionally.

there is a clause in most leases that refer to such "act of God" situations and "reasonable" repair times.  It hasn't even been a week.  While that sucks for you, I imagine it is difficult in your area for vendors to keep windows in stock right now.  They have secured your apartment with plywood and that is a reasonable response under the circumstances.  It isn't ideal from your perspective, but they have more than fulfilled their duty as a landlord right now.

I have no idea.  I don't want to be one of them and I hope you don't want to be one either.  It's a lousy job and I'm sure that they don't get paid enough that's why they take their frustration out on others.  As for the answers above.  Get a life.  The day YA give you a violation or suspend your *sses for something trivial, then your tune will change to a different beat.  Then it would be f*ck YA staff.

I think it's kinda funny. Those people sit in their cars with it turned up, and they don't even realize that OUTSIDE of the car all that's heard is the body panels and other various parts rattling - they are virtually vibrating their cars loose!  Whatever - it's just an advertisement for some other fool to steal their "fly system"......turn it up dude!

its incredibly rude to the teacher and to the other students.  Especially considering that college students aren't tradition - there are adults returning to school because they need to do well and get a new job - they have to focus.  think about all the different ringers they have now.  its not even just a phone ringing anymore - its a song playing.  I am in university and it's terrible when someone's phone rings because the teacher has to compete with that noise/try to focus on what they were trying to say before they heard eminem start plaing.  The teachers are being payed to teach, and the students are paying to hear them teach. lets leave the cells phone off/on vibrate and focus on the class.  I realise that sometimes there are emegergencies - and you need to know right away, thats why a lot of people have cell phones.  I personally Do have one, and it came in really handy in class one day when i got a call about my dad being in the hospital.  But i had it on vibrate, the people next to me knew that my phone rang and that i got up and left the classroom, but they were able to continue listening to the lecture with only the disruption of me walking past them.

Good Luck and if you come by any solutions, please let me know, for some reason my apartments lease to a bunch of non-working hood rats who party all night long. And aparently the lady living above me is actually mentally disturbed. (no kidding)

hell yeah! I was at a friends place (this was when i was a kid) and suddenly all the kitchen cupboard dooors were slamming open and shut.. and the weird thing is that the house was closed up... so no wind inside.. explain that one.

Yes, but in a very small, private setting, so I could hear the band perform the song instead of the 50,000 screaming yahoos (sorry) sitting around me. I don't even go to concerts anymore because all you hear are the people around you singing the songs. It's like paying $50 to listen to everyone sing Karaoke all at once.\n\nPlease, shut up and enjoy the band, people. Just my humble opinion.

I think they forget that their windows aren't tinted.  Doncha just love sitting at a long light and your only entertainment is that person next to you digging out that buried treasure and trying to figure out what to do with it?  Have ya ever seen 'em stare at it almost lovingly like it is a long lost relative?
