I crack them on the first song i play then play a few more songs. If i come back and play FFR an hour or two later, again, i crack my fingers on the first song. It's usually because I'm waiting for the song to load, and i think about it.

I crack them like an instinct, not just while playing FFR.

I warm up on a song or 2, then crack 'em, then continue playing, loosens up the fingers.
I've been doing it for years, no noticeable negative affects yet.

I crack every knuckle in my 4 spread fingers - bottom, middle and top.

Makes my fingers feel a bit more loose, and I've been cracking my fingers for years, and years. Nothing seems wrong to me.

I do it all the time! It's a habbit. It does help my FFR skills too!

It has been said by the medical field both ways. Most seem to agree though that it is an old wives tale.

I don't know, but I don't crack them anyway. It hurts a lot. =(

It will eventually weaken the joints because of it, but yeah. Mines crack naturally, I guess. I just move and it makes the lovely popping noise. Back, neck, foot, fingers, elbows, etc: you name it, I crack it.

I crack them...I crack my back and neck too.

Yup yup.

P.S. I don't crack them specifically for FFR, but just whenever. Although, I'm trying to stop, because my mom has really obvious arthritis, and I don't want super-knobby fingers like her in 30 years... =/

EDIT: Sometimes when I move my foot or my wrist, they make a little pop, but not exactly cracking, because I can do it again and again and again, just as long as I rotate them in a circle...

I crack my fingers alot, but for FFR if I do my fingers feel weird and it takes a song or two to get used to them being cracked. =/

Three's a crowd.

Also yeah, it's habit. I'll be sitting in class, then crack my knuckles without even realizing it. I don't notice until everybody around me is staring in disgust because they hate the noise. ;3

They crack naturally when I begin to play. When I get to my 12th hour or so, they crack in a different way... o.0

I don't like the feeling where I need to crack my fingers, but I can't no matter how hard I strain them...
