No haha unless the music is like the moves to the caro-kann played over a piano accompaniment 😂😂
What about rated games? Do people get their accounts banned for it?

No I don’t think so. People in the Bullet Chess World Championship listened to music.

Seriously, I don't want to be mean. I really don't want to be mean. But what a seriously stupid question.
Yes, you get banned, chess.com have technology which allows them to tell if you are listening to music. Even a radio in the background can lead to a ban. Say goodbye to your account.

I have heard that people who listen to Mozart improve their IQs. It is called the Mozart effect.

No it isn't unless your song tells you what moves to play in an opening or something

It depends on the music, like if it was someone listing lines of the Silican Defense it would be cheating.

Dont worry, many people do it including myself. Plus how would chess.com know?
