They don't, at least not once they've finished making it.

And you know this how?

Well it's obvious once you've given this thought or had some experience in the same field. It's the same with writers not liking reading their books, actors not watching their movies and visual artists not admiring their paintings: all they can see is what they should've done differently. They only see their own work and their memories from it; it is seen completely different to the audience than to the maker.

Thus why they DO listen...to improve for next time.

maybe they dont listen to it because they just end up cringing and saying to themselves, "ugh, this sucks, how can people like this crap?"

That's why people like you don't become singers.... :P FYI. Most good musicians get good by listening to themselves all the time and really developing their ear.

Oh come on, people are downing my comments while all I said was a slightly more though-out version of this? -"Ugh this sucks how can people like this crap?" You guys need to learn to read. Many actors in their interviews, even, admitted how they can't stand watching their shows or films because they see how bad they were then and how they should've done things differently.

Maybe to see how it sounds. But probably not for entertainment.

I love listening to the music I write.

Probably not a lot, but interestingly, if you creep on some on that itunes Ping, sometimes their own music(and a lot of it) is listed under music they listen to/like
