Tim here, I was wondering, whether you do or don't listen to music while programming. In my case, I listen to Enigma (yes, that's a musical project founded in 1990) and concentration music. Sincerely, Tim Ryazanoff. |

For a while there I used the complete set of Harry Potter books on CD - Jim Dale rocks. But I get alot of work done with the Chemical Brothers, BasementJax, and Marisa Monte |

Sometimes. The choice of music is as varied as my musical tastes are. |

Whatever doesn't take my attention, and overrides talk among my coworkers (which tends to DO take my attention). My hard drive currently holds a collection of C64 remixes, current chart music, and MP3 rips of a couple of my favourite movies (as "audio books" if you like). I select according to mood. The C64 remixes are traditionally what I pick for hardcode coding. |

When I'm in programming mode, I like to switch to computer music to get me in the mood. So lots of electronic stuff. Classic IDM stuff a-la Aphex Twin/Autechre/Squarepusher/BoC, maybe a little FlyLo -- I stick with instrumental stuff because lyrics distract me. Also, not a huge metal head, but metal makes for some really good work music. Mastodon and Mars Volta are good standbys, as well as heavy math stuff like And So I Watch You From Afar. Gonna throw QotSA in this heading too for some gut reason, even though that doesn't make any real sense. |

Yes, why not? Just one condition I have always applied when I've been highly effective: Music, TV, and the rest of entertainment is just a background intended to refresh and ambient what I'm studying and implementing. It depends on what I'm doing. I never pay direct attention to any of those distractions. I just fully concentrate on what I'm doing and let the good background elements to refresh me on their own with their true value instead of attending them. |

I have to say, I am a Jimmy Buffett fan. I have every album in a playlist on shuffle. It is one of the few ways I can concentrate when writing code. |

Call me a millenial but I like to listen to EDM while I am writing code. (Dubstep, House, that sorta thing) |

And as a shameless plug to a very interesting service I've discovered, free of charge, free of registration, and free of ads (but donations being welcome): MyNoise -- as website, or smartphone app (which does not require an online connection once downloaded). Spent the morning listening to Gregorian chanting, then switched to a bubbling brook with birdsong. DO try the "animate" function to make the soundscape change subtly over time. |

My music collection weight in at about 600gig and includes just about every genre beside indian music and french canadian country music... I have it on random play most of the time. If music isn't playing then I have some documentary playing in a window on my second monitor or some youtube channel. |

I can't concentrate in a silent environment. There's always some form of background noise be that music or tv. |

I often listen to light EDM, something like Kygo (sometimes Avicii). I don't like too much high-pitched vocals, or I can't focus. -Sophite |
