Interesting. I've never been a fan of multi-tasking, but I've never really thought about it in depth either.
The part about listening to music in the store makes a lot of sense. There are some albums that I don't like to listen to unless I can devote the time to just listen to them without distractions. There are other albums that I like to have on while I drive or work, and while I may not even notice the song I've found that it can affect my mood. There are even some albums that I don't like to listen to too closely, that seem to be good for ambient music and nothing else.
