Absolutely; serveral hours a day, usually. I do this in two general circumstances.
First is if I find a new song I really like; I will listen to it over and over again, dozens of times in a row, and love every moment of it. Last song I recall doing this for was Faint / Linkin Park.
Second is of a particular song elicits a certain emotional response in me, and I want to ride on it; sadness, regret, pain, anger, love, nostalgia, the thrill of battle, thinking of someone. Last song I recall doing this for was Mail Order Mystics / John Mayal.
In a similar sense, I do something like this with particular albums; The Wall, Powerslave, the Downward Spiral; albums tell stories to me, and I like to hear the story over and over again sometimes. I use short custom playlists for similar purposes, listen to small sets of song that have a certain theme or elicit a certain feeling.
Hmm. In the ala carte workings of today, I suppose the notion of an album is on the road to deprecation. Can you imagine The Wall without it being an album?
Good fortune,
