For those who listen to Music whilst coding; what are you listening to and how?

Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory (using MP)

"Go forth into the source" - Neal Morse

[trønderen]

that's rather cool music! (I know that the composer denies it, though.)

An 80s playlist on Amazon Music.

I first heard that years ago on Radio 3 while driving to work; a quite fascinating piece.

Blimey! You could give us a warning next time, that almost burst my eardrums!

Wrong is evil and must be defeated. - Jeff Ello Never stop dreaming - Freddie Kruger

[Jorgen Andersson]

Well, I don't. Can only work in quiet. But the last piece I played when I went for a walk was: Smash Into Pieces - Radioactive Mother (Lover)[^] and next on the playlist is: Haley Reinhart - Honey, There's The Door[^]

The Blob by Aesop Rock Aesop Rock - The Blob - YouTube[^] I usually just use youtube with an ad-blocker but I have this one ripped to my PC too somewhere (i am using youtube just because it was easy to find) Edit: Forgot the link

Real programmers use butterflies

[trønderen]

So the perfect piece for you is "4:33"!

[Jorgen Andersson]

Unless someone can find a working link for me, yes.

Unless you depend on the images, you can obtain the sound track by turning off the sound of your PC for four minutes and thirty three seconds.

[trønderen]

There is a piano version at John Cage's 4'33"[^]. I believe it has unrestricted distribution. Minimalist music taken to its extreme.

i'm listening to a bunch of songs my band recorded in 1995, played through iTunes.

Same here X| I was wondering if I would be the only one

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

[Nelek]

While I am working on something I can hear different kind of sounds, but has to be without vocals. Only music fine, people singing and my concentration goes to hell.

The black keys, System of a down, Offspring, ACDC, Green Day, The Fratellis, The Hives, Motley Crue, Arctic monkeys, Dire Straits, ... In the software area use MusicBee (which upgrades automatically and silently) allows playlists and remembers the last played song. In the hardware area I use a set of KEF EGG loudspeakers with a nice DAC and a set of Beoplay H9 3rd gen headphones from Bang & Olufsen. All this sounds nice there.

At work, most of the time it's smooth jazz, some New Age, 70's funk, 80's pop, 90's modern rock. Rick Braun, Waymon Tisdale, Dave Koz, Jeff Golub, Candy Dulfer, to name a few. Usually no vocals, but that's not a requirement. I have a 200GB microSD card in my phone with my entire music library on it. I listen using a venerable pair of Sony MDV-900 studio headphones I paid $240 for 25 years ago. I looked at replacing them a while back, and the contemporary model was >$1000 :omg: . I'll keep buying replacement ear pads every 3-4 years, thank you. Going to and from work I tend to keep music with vocals in the car, where I sing along. My steering wheel is in therapy as a result :rolleyes:. I like female singers with big, expressive voices like Oleta Adams, Gladys Knight, Queen Latifah (aka Dana Owens), Chaka Khan. Male vocalists, I'm all over the map - Frank Sinatra to Rick Astley (yes, the rick-rolling guy) to Al Jarreau to Ozzy. I'm also fascinated by a capella groups like Rockapella and Take 6.
