Abstract
This article explores our current understanding of why we like and choose to listen to the music that we do. It begins by defining terms and considering methods, moving on to discuss the biological influences of arousal and other personality traits on music preference, questions of style discrimination, and finally the cultural influences of experience upon preference. The article evaluates existing models of music preference and considers further directions and challenges in the field.
