What are you listening to?
-
Usually prefer silence but, paradoxically, when I need a music break, it's often something like Jesus and Mary Chain or Pixies or Rammstein or something equally raucous.
-
A lot, from electronic dance music to black and death metal to classical to soundtracks. I was just listening to some random electro swing, but I've switched it for Vexed, a metalcore band :D

On my Windows 10 laptop I use my own VB net player based on VLC. On my Android devices I use a very basic URL based player called 'CustomRadioPlayer RadioStream App'. It's very, very simple but works!

I'm curious: while working at the keyboard, do you listen to something? White noise, music, nature sounds? Dish.
Music. Depending on my mood: - Heavy Metal: Nightwish, Nocturna, Lacuna Coil, Metallica, Dio, Saxon, DevilDriver, Warlock, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Korn, System of a Down... - Rock or Punk: Fleetwood Mac, Blue Oyster Cult, WASP, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, Clash, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Pixies. - Dark electronic: mostly Sisters of mercy, some Prodigy, Ministry, Depeche Mode, Type O Negative. - 80s: a lot of 80s miscellaneous stuff like Gazebo, Thompson Twins etc etc. Thanks to my dad collection I have an encyclopedic knowledge of music from that period.

Don't you just love this community where "I use my own ..." isn't unusual, but so, so satisfying? :)

Does your shuffle function stay within a genre? If I allow a player to *truly* shuffle across my entire library, I might get Sinatra followed by some techno...that just...doesn't work.

I love variety. I'm learning to enjoy genres that I've never liked before by trying different artists.
What usually helps is listening to some artists that are slightly different from what you're used to. If you listen to classical music and go straight to the blackest of black metal you'll probably think metal sucks. If you start listening to Nightwish first, for example, you'll probably don't find it half bad and your tastes start to shift. And from Nightwish you can move to harder metal bands. There are always bands who mix two or more genres that you'd probably like if you listen to either one genre and can get you accustomed to the other.

Occasionally I'll listen to recommendations from a friend who has a show on an internet "radio station", so the last couple of days have been Kid Kapichi, a new one on me. They can be quite raucous ...

When coding or researching, lyrics are often distracting, so I mostly go for anything purely instrumental: Chillhop, Lofi, etc.. If I'm in a lyrical mood, then songs in a language I don't understand are perfect, such as Japanese City Pop. So good...

I am not sure I could code with background music. I must admit I never tried. I only code as a hobby so production is at my pace. Former job in the hospital someone always interrupting while working with questions but that is what I got paid to do so not complaining. My house is semi-remote in Arizona. Half a mile down the paved road in front of my house the road turns to dirt. When I moved here in 1995 there were about 10 homes that direction. Today the count is about 20 homes. They are all in the $500,000.00 range and up. Across the street for 14 miles is Apache reservation. No homes nothing but old tall pine trees a few wild horses and a bear that likes to maul my trash container from time to time. No more than 20 cars go by the house in a day. While my office has a 5 ft wide by 4 ft tall window I enjoy the view from time to time. The 3 ft diameter Alligator juniper and 15 Pine that are about 50 ft tall in the front gravel (we do not have grass) do block the view a little. After years in an apartment beside the Interstate I do enjoy the solitude and quiet. If you what a peek at the area Google Maps Live Oak Drive Lakeside,AZ

Arizona you say? I'm near the Chandler mall and I can see some buildings at ASU from my desk. Also South Mountain and some great sunsets.

Greetings and Kind Regards In a previous time I listened to radio . I don't recall now if it was NPR news or my favorite local Classical station at the time but under the advice of Marie vos Savant I turned it off . I now find myself distracted w/o quiet . However I always plan on Fridays to listen to listener call in requests at WCPE as the requested pieces are the usual favorites but I always forget except this time as your post reminded me which is why I am listening to it now . Thanks for the reminder . Cheerio

At the moment, I'm enjoying the last of my precious silence: in under an hour, Herself will be home, and all I will hear is her oxygen machine, the TV on loud (as she's partly deaf), and herself screaming abuse at whatever show is on it.
