Do you guys face this problem? What do you do while you're listening to music? Do you multi-task? Just lie on the couch and let the music envelop you? Any solutions or suggestions?

I agree about driving alone. It's definitely one of the best ways to listen to music.
I like to have music playing constantly while reading and multi-tasking as well, but you do miss alot of the details and sometimes entire songs, like you say. What I do most often is just put my headphones on, put my feet up, and watch a basketball game on mute when I wanna check out a new album. For me this is the perfect balance as I'm able to pay close attention to the music, but not get bored. I also have the NBA League Pass with games replaying over and over all night, which is great for this approach...always something on.
On rare occasions, when I find an album that I just LOVE, I will do the whole turn off the lights, close my eyes, put on the headphones and chill routine. I can never do this for much longer than a single album lasts though, as yeah, it does tend to get sorta boring after a while.
