Music Manners (礼仪)
You probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library.
Keep it down! You have to notice the volume (音量) of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry.
You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums. They don't have rules, but it would be rude (粗鲁的) to have your MP3 player on.
Take one out! Once in a while it's OK just to take out one earphone. Imagine you are listening to music on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. , and you can still tell him the way with one earphone, and then put it back and continue listening to your music. You can also do this when you order food at a fast food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.
In a word, you can decide what the best music manners are.
