I listen a lot to ambient as well, but I liken it to drinking tea, which I normally do, and save coffee (the bpm stuff) for crunchtime. My ambient go-to:s are (in no particular order): Roedelius Harold Budd Tim Story Brian Eno Roger Eno Hannu Offthesky Deaf Center Message To Bears Pjusk Everything Is diatonis Build Buildings The Echelon Effect

Have you tried ambient techno? Boards of Canada Tycho Ulrich Schnauss Fisk Industries

> Ulrich Schnauss

Ulrich Schnauss is very, very good at what he does. Highly recommended.

Anyone here remembers Philosomatika online radio station? Well it is back as a Radionomy station. http://www.philosomatika.fm/ That was my go to place for programming music. I was excited to find it is back. I got the $5/month sans-commercials subscription and am pretty happy with it. SomaFM is great too especially Drone Zone for a quieter slower pace. http://somafm.com/dronezone/

Philosomatika is back?! Thank you!

It seems so. Not sure what relationship current maintainers / owner of it has with previous ones but so far for $5 / month I've been getting pretty good music. Worth it to me at least.

Some songs from the catalog repeat, but I am ok so far.

SomaFM is good too, but found their trance music so so.

I've listened to Brain.fm since this past February, and it is truly amazing. They have Focus, Relax, and Sleep, but I've only ever listened to Focus. It's like this steady stream of some kind of electronically generated music that changes each 30 minutes. I set it to 2 hours, and then I usually take a small break when it ends. I'll turn it on and literally get into the zone immediately; writing line after line of cod…

Clicked it, tried it, impulse bought. Seems worth it so far :)

I think you can still run it in the browser. Not quite the same, I know (the iOS app is nice), but I think it might do for now.

Hey, I'm really digging the Focus music. I was wondering to what headphones are you guys tuning it. It sounds awesome on my studio monitors, but it sounds like crap on my ATH-M50 cans due to the bass going over its limit unless I keep it to a rather low volume.

I use Bose Q25s. The noise cancellation + constant noise of brain.fm are perfect for putting me in a bubble

Extremely cool of you to do this. Discovered the service yesterday, tried it, was amazed (hopefully not placebo) and today signed up (lifetime deal).

I really, really recommend https://mynoise.net/ instead of music. They repertoire of sounds is amazing. You can even customize every soundscape to your liking. One of my coworker has a real bassy voice that overlaps over music in my headphones. With that website I can easily create a soundscape that cover his voice and all the surrounding noises. It's free too!

Calling musicforprogramming music in the sense that you're probably imaging isn't quite accurate. It's much more of a soundscape.

After years of visiting this website to listen to good remixes while I write code I feared the day when someone would link it to HN because I knew before hand that it would make it inaccessible. Go damn it people! Y U Do Dis ಠ_ಠ

Their tracks are also available as podcasts. I've downloaded several and shuffle between them.
