I (and sometimes passengers) listen to XM radio only when established
in level cruise flight over long distances. It cuts out for ATC
transmissions.

For departures and approaches, the music goes off to avoid distraction.

Do any of you listen to music while flying? If so, do you listen
yourself, or do passengers listen, or do you all listen? Is there any
regulatory obstacle to this? (Some aircraft are apparently equipped
for it, so it must be allowed.)

I don't listen to music when driving because it distracts me, which is
hazardous, and I'd probably be the same way when flying. However, I
suppose passengers might like music.
