When I'm churning out code I sometimes listen to WritheM Radio on Grooveshark, mostly techno/electronic: http://grooveshark.com/#!/writhem/broadcast

Otherwise, it depends on my mood and if I need white-noise to concentrate on something. Or loop a song I like non-stop until it fades in the background :)
