I have two rules when I’m listening to music while programming: 1. My favourite genres are K-Pop and Industrial – it helps that they are also very energetic genres — and my rule is that I can only listen to them while programming. Helps to really put me in the “you’re working now” space (thanks to Julian Shapiro for this tip) 2. I pick one song and repeat it for the entire day, sometimes for several days in a row. I’…

Number 2 sounds like hell

Number 2 is the default way I listen to music - I put a song on a loop and change it when I grow tired of hearing it. For new songs this means couple of hours to couple of days; for the ones I'm familiar with it's usually something around an hour.

I assume the names on the compilations are the artists/people selecting the music? I love seeing Datasette on there (multiple times in fact). Listened a lot to him.

...slightly of subject: I love programming with classical music. Classic guitar music in particular, but any classical will do. I rarely listen to classical other than when driving or when coding.

Ludovico Einaudi.

Along with some of the other great suggestions here, soundtracks by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have been mainstays for me. Throw in some Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts and you have a nice dark soundtrack for working to.

I really like to listen to dub techno while programming. It is repetitive, no vocals, long songs (8-10min), relaxed vibe with not a lot of going on, yet very nice and ambiental.

I'll try that I guess. For now I use trance, anything that is happy or energetic, harmonic and wih no words. I have a long playlist that someone created on Spotify with this kind of trance.

Here is my playlist, give it a try: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3UrAoLiXuqI_3Cre-cQp...

I like it a lot for night coding :) Hope you enjoy.
