Not really music but, as a pluviophile, I often go to asoftmurmur.com when I code.

Heres a few album links straight from my Music bookmarks folder:

• Tycho - Dive
• Ratatat - Classics
• August Burns Red - Constellations
• Lydia - Illuminate
• Now, Now - Threads

I try to keep it to "chill edm", whether it is falls into synth wave, retro new wave, outrun, glitchhop, trip hop. Helps to think I am coding the future. This is an album I have on repeat today. EDIT: to include the link. As an apology, here is another I have listened to.

I've got Spotify, so all sorts of music.

Lately have really been digging Todd Terje "It's Album Time", Tarika Blue "Tarika Blue", Zero 7 "Simple Things", Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws "Innerquake", and Laura Vane "Laura Vane & The Vipertones".

I like chilled out 1 hour+ mixes while I'm coding.

Currently got this on: Slumber Session: Lusine

Trip hop. Very relaxing and really helps let the coding juices flow.

Soma fm -> Groove Salad, Soma Space Station, Deep Space One, Secret Agent, or Suburbs of Goa

Basically relaxing music that's not too heavy on the vocals (I find that distracting).

I listen to any and all video game music. I like playing overclock remix radio especially.

Unfortunately I've been unable to do that for a couple weeks because I've been doing stuff on pluralsight for bower/gulp related stuff.

Any kind of electronic music. It's easy for it to just fall in the background but also has a steady beat to keep me plugging away much like a viking rowing a boat. Plus there's something poetic about hearing the sounds of a computer while programming on it.

Ha! I've listened to that exact mix! Generally I pick some music that fits the style of my project, then I program to that. Helps me get in the mood of the game.

Mostly classical, but modern classical. The classic repetitive minimalist stuff mostly - like Philip Glass, Steve Reich, John Adams, Bolero. That stuff blocks out the outside world, sets up interesting patterns in my head and lets me focus hard without jerking me out of the zone.

The only thing that works for me: http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=Q16KpquGsIc

I've recently gotten into techno when I was studying for my last exams, so it's either that or music in languages I don't understand because I find too much talking to be distracting.

Techno: Traumer - Hoodlum

A spanish artist that I like: Juanes - A Dios Le Pido

Joe Satriani Radio on Pandora, or anything with a driving bassline, solid guitar riffs, and minimal to no vocals.

My music of choice is heavier music such as progressive metal, but I get distracted too easily when listening to it. I stick with trance / house music when I am coding. It's good background music without having to focus on it too much!

However I'm a fake programmer, I'm a network admin, but spend a lot of time writing PS / batch / bash scripts to automate my processes.

If you have to do it more than 3 times, automate it, right?!

Really depends on my mood. Death Metal, hardcore punk.... or classical. One time I went to youtube and played coffee shop background music.

I haven't tried techno / trance. Maybe I should. Your sound track sounds dope.

Depends on my mood. If I'm getting rage-inducing errors, I go hard electronic (anything off the DSBP or Alfa-Matrix labels) because for some reason the constant pulse-pounding bumps center me when I'm doing it. If it's an easy piece of code, then it's anything from Skynyrd to some Metal. Literally just whatever is in my mood at the time and my boogerhooks will be on my phone spotifying the shit out of some Static-X or something or even Johnny Cash. I run a huge spectrum.

Anything by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra . It's suitably epic, but doesn't have lyrics to distract me.

Heavy fucking metal. Usually 80s thrash, mix in some prog and speed.

I really like all of Blackmill's work. It is more mellow but I've gotten into some serious coding grooves while listening to his stuff.

I also listen to audio books that I already know, usually I've read the book before. It gives me something to have as idle thoughts while I'm focusing on a problem. Sometimes I have to turn it off to really focus, but that's not too often.

Usually either metal, post-rock, or some sort of ambient music. It's weird but I find it much easier to concentrate on programming listening to something with lots of white noise, as opposed to something where someone is signing an actual melody. My last three youtube autoplay albums:

Protest the Hero Sikth God is an Astronaut

I tend towards mellow jazz or ambient while I'm investigating or thinking about a problem, then once it's implementation time I usually switch to rock, uptempo jazz or pop.

Movie soundtracks. I like Hans Zimmer.

Epic music. They're wonderful. This is a particularly good compilation, and this one (which I found through the comments) sounds good so far.

Makes you feel as if you're in a movie, or saving the world.

Chillstep is my favorite by far

The Social Network soundtrack (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross)

The movie is about programming so it motivates me.

Forest + Wind or just white noise from http://www.noisli.com/
