No. My B&G hates noise, and she's very particular about which songs she likes, so I have to be there to monitor her. She will scream in annoyance if she has to listen to something she doesn't like. Max and Sonny and Patrick all enjoy music, but they also like their quiet time. What bothers me about leaving it on all the time when I'm not there is that they can't turn it off if they want to.
