Can't I listen any kind of music by 7th percept?
score:4
- nacca - plays/dances
- gΔ«ta - song
- vΔdita - music
- visukadassanΔ - visiting shows
So yes, it includes all music. Even if you hear a song by chance and you indulge in it, you break the precept.

There are some people who say, even in the Commentary, that one would not break the precepts by listening to music which tells about the suffering in the world and causes samvega. But (if you are) being honest: isn't most music is not about lamenting (and so is certainly against the precept)? Stay with this answer.
Actually it's about distracting the mind, so one would not stay at the Dhamma of staying mindful, and would even starts to ponder this and that; greed, hatred, all kinds of feeling can come up.
So if one takes it seriously one abstains form any kind of entertainment and diversion, including shows, films, sport games, games, parades ... and especially news and google and surfing :-) Everything that is not simply work.
