Discussion on: Should You Listen to Music While Programming?

I like to listen to techno and trance for getting in the "zone" that you mentioned, and it could really put me through hours of work without me even noticing. There are days when I'm just tired and could enjoy ballads. When there is something to be solved, that requires my full attention, I turn off the music, however, I might just keep the earphones on. :)

It seems like you are very aware of how you use music while programming. Glad to hear that is works out for you.

Yeah, thanks. Actually i really like your topic and I could go on and on about it because i was experimenting with the music a lot during work hours, first at school, college, and now at work. There are dozens of genres, playlists and types of music that I like and use in such manner. However that requires its own discussion and I don't want to bother you with details. I'll give one interesting example, however, since we are on topic. I used to listen liquid drum n bass playlists only while practicing for math exams, can't seem to remember i played it a lot during work :)
