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

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[^]

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.

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.

I prefer quiet when coding. Debugging is a different matter. Then I start a Spotify "Daily Mix" of [Dave Alvin - "Beautiful City 'Cross The River" - YouTube](https://youtu.be/FMqm428H8cs) or Country featuring, [Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey (Audio) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/4zAThXFOy2c) [Brooks & Dunn - That Ain't No Way To Go (Official Video) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/BjbhpRPSGQo) And when I want to kick it into high gear, [Godsmack - Voodoo (Official Music Video) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/9SSUQxGjZZ4) At the moment I'm playing [Old Dominion - Paint the Grass Green (Audio) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/DZbsRj-m2cI) You get the picture.

I listen to Spotify (free version, I have almost 1000 songs and I add on average, 2 or so a month) playing through an iPad to a Bluetooth speaker I can move around (it lasts almost 2 working days, about 20 hours, and is easy to recharge). I'm currently working from home, but I used it while in the office (and will again, if we ever have to go back). I don't mind the ads, strange as that seems. My collection is a mix of hits that I like: music from the 50s (a few), 60s (more), 70s (majority), 80s (less than or tied with the 70s, I think), 90s (less than the 80s), and so on by decade, diminishing to a few current hits. My collection of artists are all over the place: Barry Manilow, Beach Boys, Monkees, Four Seasons, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Frank Sinatra, Muppets (I like "Rainbow Collection" from Kermit the Frog), and a couple of songs I have a history with that bring back memories ("Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" was the song I used to audition as a DJ for a local radio station, which helped start my part-time-while-attending-college job, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" was the last song I played every Saturday night at midnight when I logged off the local radio station and shut down the transmitter for the night). Music is a background killing "noise" that I've used all through the school years to concentrate. It's served me well and I hope it continues to do the job!

Jethro Tull using MusicBee. I also use YouTube, although the frequent commercials get irritating. However, I do find new singers/groups on a regular basis.
