I never listen to music when I'm writing.

But I never listen to music while I'm writing.

I do listen to a lot of music, but I don't listen when I'm writing.

I don't listen to music when I write - I find it distracting.

I rarely listen to music while writing. I wish I could, but it distracts me.

I rarely listen to music while writing. If I don't like it, it bothers me, and if I like it, it absorbs me so much I can't write.

I don't listen to music when I write. I need silence.

I never listen to music when I am writing. It would be impossible. I listen to Bach in the mornings, mostly choral music; also some Handel, mostly songs and arias; I like Schubert's and Beethoven's chamber music and Sibelius' symphonies; for opera, I listen to Mozart and in recent years Wagner.

I don't listen to a lot of music; I write more music than I listen to, for sure.
