With that said I usually can't listen to podcasts or music with lyrics if I am crunching numbers and reading or writing emails. But most my day doesn't consist of that so the music and podcasts help. Plus I keep the volume really low so I can hear the phone ring and people talking to me.

Same here. I work with numbers all day and just have light music on. And it's not music that would really distract me. It's stuff I've listened to countless times and just goes in one ear and out the other.
Without music on, the chatter and gossip would really distract me.
