The best offices I've worked in have always had a Spotify account set up, so anyone can remotely connect to the machine running Spotify and put whatever they want on.

It's good because we always get a mix when people get past letting others know how bad their taste in music goes. We've gone from Paramore to Jurassic 5 to John Mayer in the space of an afternoon before, and the mix tends to help everyone relax.

Depends. I have a whole pile of various Pandora stations I've created, that I listen to sometimes. Most of those are rock/metal centric, but there is one focused on gangster rap stuff. Other times, I like to listen to trance / electronic music / europop stuff, and for that I tend to just find a shoutcast station and tune into that.

My office I don't have the "quiet" option. Specially because we don't have money for some equipment, I and my associate sit next to the other, and we are near a very noisy road with lots of trucks and buses.

So, to code, music is needed!

sometimes I hear demoscene music, be it from a radio (like nectarine: https://www.scenemusic.net/demovibes/ ) or from musicdisk (specially BitFellas bitjam vol 1.1: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=31658 )

That is, it is already some good time that I don't stick with trackermusic, I am mostly using youtube.

For that I have:

Programmers rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9TGj2jrJk8&list=PLBB8AAF... Programmers zone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqrsNIHssTU&list=PLCC8F93... and this list of metal touhou remixes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un8y1IbbMno&list=PL8736B2...

Sometimes I go with OCRemix lists too.
