Re: "Do you listen to music while coding?" An analysis.
#2When coding I usually only listen to music if it's an album that I have listened to at least 5+ times. This works for me in that my brain seems to know exactly what parts/songs are coming next and they are no surprises/distractions.
Mixes and things like last.fm are no good because I always have to stop to see what is playing.

#3Personally, my friends and I have started listing to Dubstep. Just few enough vocals to be distracting, but still interesting.

#4I was hoping this was going to be an analysis of how listening habits correlate with productivity. I'm sure it comes down to personal preference and a host of other factors, but it'd still be interesting to see if there's a statistical difference between different genres or no music at all.

#5I find it very hard to concentrate while listening to music, but even harder while overhearing other people's conversations, so occasionally the headphones must go on.
Of course, headphones also mildly discourage others from interrupting, but that's no way to live your life.

#7I don't listen to music with words. My brain's language processing unit goes into action, and disrupts my ability to code.
Instrumentals, electronic music, or classical music are fine.

#8I watch movies and TV comedies while I code often. If not, I usually have music TV on. Working from home rocks.

#9I can't stand total silence. There must be some music, people or I'll go crazy.

#10I love music, but I've never been able to work while listening to music. If it's music I enjoy, it consumes my attention (see quote below), especially if I'm familiar with the specific songs. I don't like listening to music on "broadcast," so I'll almost never enjoy a Pandora station even of a genre I generally enjoy.
