It's not all or nothing, but the two do often come into conflict. I'll bet hardly anybody reading this runs only by themselves on empty roads or trails. When such contention does occur, I think it's pretty clear that safety and consideration have to take priority. Isolating and distracting yourself with audio, even at low volume, is contrary to that. Also, I seriously doubt that anyone who uses music to "pump it up" and "go hard" is staying at low volume.
