Re: what do you like to listen to while you code?

Anything really, from death metal to folk to ska to chiptune. Sometimes music with non-English lyrics really helps though, especially if I'm more in the formative stages, rather than just crunching stuff out. Occasionally, if the mood is right, I'll code in total silence, but generally that's not the case.

Re: what do you like to listen to while you code?

When coding, I used to listen to pretty much anything, but lately I like to listen to DJ Koze, Kill Memory Crash, and Infected Mushroom. They're all pleasant background musics that help you get a rythm in your fingers.

Same here, and i often have my music on random so Biosphere can easily follow Entombed.

For true zen-coding™ though i usually listen to stuff like A Produce, Alpha Wave Movement or Oöphoi.

Re: what do you like to listen to while you code?

I can put up with just about anything while coding, so my whole library is go.

My favorites are Nena, Jeferson Airplane, and the Beatles.

Something like Dub, or any other chill tones

Re: what do you like to listen to while you code?

Music that cancels out the background noise without being too present.

I made you a playlist that samples some of what I have. It's all free (creative commons) music from Jamendo (a convenient source of daily fresh free music!). There's maybe 20hrs of material in there. Quality varies: some of it is only barely passable, and some of it is actually very good. You've probably never heard these songs before (most were released in 2008 & 2009). Here it is then:

Or, to get the list of mp3 streams directly: http://www.jamendo.com/get2/stream/trac … _asc&n=all

Thanks go to finferflu for introducing me to a lot of the artists in there!

Wow, great atmospheric music for coding. Thanks for sharing!
