Re: Ask HN: What music do you play, while programming?
#12Welp. Music that I listen to for pleasure seems more distracting than "useful", and discussing that music seems less interesting. What makes me more productive is scary music. A.n.K.h works quite well for that - it's free on Jamendo. Not something that I make use of frequently.

#13None. Too distracting.

#14I simply don't, it's too distracting.

#15I like experimental/ambient/"noise" type music. This label is one of my current favorites:

#16While coding: electronic trance or psytrance.
While analyzing: piano (the less boring, the better) or orchestral (“classic music”).
While debugging: heavy metal - those pesky bugs deserve all my rage.

+1 for Soma
I combine the sounds from: https://lifeat.io/app?space=798 and https://somafm.com/player/#/now-playing/dronezone
Either drone zone or groove salad.

#18I listen to a lot of lyricless trance/deep house/electronic music. I personally find music to be key to reaching a "flow sate" while I'm working. It's almost meditative.
I've curated a Spotify playlist that's nearing 300 hrs long, although I add and remove songs on a daily basis. It was recieved quite well last time I mentioned it on HN.
Feel free to check it out: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4kXkKPkOoKmWuhmGnBMVRp?si=...

#19I've done somafm (cliqhop), di.fm, and a lot of IDM previously (Boards of Canada, Dabrye, Slow Magic). I've also had a brief lo-fi phase. These days I'm into synthwave and chillwave, maybe some vapor or retro too.
A constant, though, is I downloaded lots of video game soundtracks and made various playlists. If you're on Linux it's easy to play from the raw formats; if you're on Mac I say give up and use the MP3s.
I've had friends suggest movie soundtracks (John Williams, etc). I'll probably give that a try someday.
