It seems that no one has mentioned this so I'll add. There was a study back in the 1960s which has shown that listening to music was actually detrimental to programmers' productivity. The results were kind of popularized in the book Peopleware and by Joel Spolsky (see e.g. here: https://www.quora.com/How-accurate-is-Joel-Spolskys-assertio... ). My personal experience confirms this. While I can successfully fix things…
And it's precisely because of what you said. There are many coding activities that don't require a deep level of concentration, and at least in my grand sample of one, my brain seems to recognize these situations, create a sensation of discomfort making me instinctively stop the music. However, I would completely fail to accomplish the previously mentioned tedious tasks if I didn't have something in the background preventing myself from wandering off into the depths of the Internet (and that's with the Go Fucking Work add-on installed).
It makes for good music to sleep, study, program and/or read a book to (most ambient music are unless they delve into the more abstract, avant garde realm).
I also like Hakobune and Chihei Hatakeyama. Nice warm tones.
And if I'm looking to get my blood pumping a bit, I've never gone wrong from recommendations from here: http://316144.tumblr.com/
Dance music can be meditative too :)

Very cool of you, I was debating the $149 price tag, but at $30 I just paid before I could think of a reason not to. Quick question: is there a way to use an audio player (e.g., Audacious, RhythmBox, VLC) to stream the music without using a web browser? The animated light curves in the background make the browser use 100% of a whole CPU core, which isn't ideal, especially when using a laptop on battery.

That coupon code shows a negative price for the lower level memberships, not sure if that means you will be paying us for it :)
it's a tiny bug, fixing now!

Some recommendations for you sir. EDM) Menno de Jong https://soundcloud.com/mennodejong/menno-de-jong-live-at-luc... https://soundcloud.com/mennodejong/menno-de-jong-cloudcast-0... Like other continuously mixed, mostly-ambient EDM but favors minor mode and affected arps that keep my brain occupied in it just enough to avoid distraction. Japanese Drums) The Ondekoza, or any competent group https://www.amazon.com/Haru-…

Solar Fields, the group that made the music for the video game Mirror's Edge, is one of my favorite groups for programming.
A few other redditors and I maintain a playlist of Downtempo (mostly) non-vocal electronic music specifically targeted towards developers. It's an open playlist so feel free to contribute! https://open.spotify.com/user/fgutz/playlist/3dBiKJSoAQ6msoY... spotify:user:fgutz:playlist:3dBiKJSoAQ6msoYzl99wp2
I have been listening to the "Perfect for coding & Design" playlist.

Why specific music for programming? E.g. I mostly listen Caprice (the elvish one) for programming just because I like Caprice.
Lots of people, myself included, find it difficult to program (or concentrate on any mentally challenging task) while listening to certain types of music. Personally I'm partial to Norwegian Black metal for programming.
