Nice service. When I'm coding Trance, mainly Armin van Buuren, works best for me.
Yep, Trance works for me as well. I use di.fm/trance.

#62"... two out of three of people like to listen to music while they work, study or read but it’s difficult to find and manage music that consistently works well for this purpose." Precisely! I like to listen to ambient music when working and constantly trying to find new music for this purpose is quite a hassle.
Can you recommend a Top 5 ambient albums for working? EDIT: Thanks for all the suggestions!

Carbon Based Lifeforms and H.U.V.A. Network are fantastic for focus:

Other artists on Ultimae are also worth a try.

Same here, house is nice as well. You can fine a lot of 2 hours mixes on soundcloud as well as a state of trance on spotify

last.fm is great for this. Type in an artist/genre you like and for the next few hours while you work, you will discover plenty of new ones as their radio service works by molding a 'radio service' to your taste.
I made a playlist generator application for Spotify a while ago that uses the last.fm API:

I'd be interested to know if it works everywhere. It still works in the UK.

Re: Music to Let you Concentrate
#67I've realized that it doesn't matter so much what I listen to but rather how much. The more often I hear a song / album whilst working the better it helps me to focus. For a while now this has been pink floyds pulse concert from 1994.
Re: Music to Let you Concentrate
#68The mixes from Non-Collective are pretty good too.

Yup, trance and house for me, definitely. Trance and house are like productivity crack. I listen to trance when I'm working and house when I'm working out.

For me, songs without lyrics work best, doesn't matter if it is classical or instrumental techno like Nine Inch Nail's "Ghosts". Songs with vocals that I've heard a lot are better than songs with vocals that I've never heard before, presumably because my brain isn't trying as hard to process the words as it would be if I hadn't heard them as much... but songs with no vocals at all are the best for focus, IME.
