Plus consider that in my case, I have three kids whose activities take up the bulk of my time not spent at work - I'm not complaining about it, but my commute, as annoying as it can be at times, is the one bit of "me time" I can consistently count on, and listening to the music, audiobook, or podcast of my choice in the process just seals that deal.

Agreed. When my children were small, the commute was my “me” time - I didn’t even turn on the radio. I was invited several times to car pool, and it would have saved some money. But I needed that 20+ minutes of quiet time.
