Tell people you don't like music at work and no one bats and eye.
Tell them you do listen music through speakers and everyone loses their mind...
I'm going to ignore the first part of your post (read up, you'll see why).

I still don't understand how many people are involved here.
Also, just because you ask someone about your music & they say it's ok, doesn't mean they really are OK with it all day every day - sometimes people are just being polite.
If there's just two of you or even three in a sound-proof office, then discussing it should be fine, & I don't see why management would bother as long as you have the other people's support.
But if hte office contains more people, then I don't believe you can have the volume at a level where others cannot hear it - they can probably just hear enough to be really annoying.
And while it is somewhat trite - what if everyone had their own music playing at once?

There were three people involved, including me.
I did requests.
Then one of the other two complained, to management. The one who always has his headphones on. Also when the room is silent.
We just moved to a new building and I'm sitting next to someone who liked my music and the other two people are sitting about three to four meter away.
I can have two speakers and point one directly at me, one directly at my colleague (who wants to listen to my music, he asked for a speaker). As a bonus the speakers are also turned away from my colleagues across the room. Then I can play music just loud enough for us to hear. There is no way my colleagues further away are going to hear it, I checked.
To me that sounds like a very reasonable solution to the problem.
If everyone wanted to play their own music you could discuss that and make other arrangements, like headphones.
Again, I'm not against headphones or not playing music.
I'm just a little sad I'm not allowed to play it anymore (after having done it for three years, having exchanged music with my other colleagues and taking requests).
And, as said, I'm not the only one who is bummed out.
And I'm a bit mad at the fact we have a good solution, but management wants to push their own 'solution' anyway. After three years just out of the blue. Especially since music is a big deal to me.
I'm now looking for something else to keep me entertained while working.
Putting on some good music could really raise my spirit when I needed it! All work and no play make me a dull boy

i'd appreciate it if they knocked it off with that kind of crap and spent 20 minutes fixing the VS2013 resource editor, and then another 20 fixing the properties editor so that it doesn't push the first two rows of controls off the top of the dialog.

Does that mean that VS is now open source and free?

Does no one get sarcasm any more???
BTW, VS is not a 'framework' - it's a tool.

Unlike the previously mentioned tools, those are actually useful.

It is now acceptable to wear a straw hat.
