When an employer tells you to look for another job, you are being encouraged to quit. You are not necessarily fired yet. This is a strategy used by some unscrupulous people to intimidate you into quiting. Harder to file for unemployment that way. Keep showing up for work until you are really fired or the employer puts behind him the offense. Stop listening to your I-pod on company time. They need your concentration for work regardless of whether you think it distracts or helps. In that point, the employer has control. If you have already stopped going to work there, contact the labor division and file a dispute and/or hire a lawyer.

I think there are a couple more questions to be asked.
1. Have you ever been "written up" for listening to your i-pod before?
2. Did you sign any kind of paperwork after he called you in to the office the first time - (a "write up")?
3. Is listening to your i-pod against company rules?
Your boss was definitely unclear about your termination, which is unfair. With eight years on the job you must have been doing acceptable work or they would have let you go some time ago.
It sounds like you have a boss that probably feels threatened by your long time on the job and is not very good at motivating and coaching employees.
He probably also told you you were "resigning" because he thinks if you "resign" the company may not have to pay you for unemployment. He is probably wrong about this as well.

What country are you in?
Was there a stated employment policy against listening to music while working?
Are you hired under an employment at will policy?
Had you been warned before?
How many times was this documented?
If you have violated employment rules, you may have "resigned" by that violation. Check with an employment attorney to be sure.
In the US the difference between resigning and being fired is the possibility of him paying and you receiving unemployment insurance benefits. It is also a difference in stigma affecting your chances of being hired in the future.
Talk to an attorney. Do not change the words( fired or resigned).The word resignation is important, and has different meanings than the word fired. They are not interchangable.

The reason he accepted your 'Resignation' immediately was, he didn't want to have to pay you unemployment insurance.
I don't blame him for firing you... I would have fired you on the spot myself because that was an obvious infraction of the companie's rules and regulations.

I would have to say, if you were told to "look for another job" by your supervisor, then you were fired. However, when you talked to your boss later and he/she said "your resigning your not being fired", I would ask him/her to clarify.

they need to reduce the workforce and you gave them a reason to eliminate you. you were fired, by the way. do not sign anything, get some public legal help. you may have a good case.

What does "who has the reason" mean? Why are you writing in all caps?
