For programmers, and artists alike!
Do you listen to music when you work on new material? And if you do, what do you most of the time listen to? And would you say you always listen to music, or never do while working or would it all depend on mood?
I am sure this has come up before but I thought I'd bring it up again if it has for some interest.

I liked your old stylesheet better.
And yes, I listen to music almost all the time I'm on my PC. Mostly in the power metal sense, but at times diving into techno for some unknown reason.
General rule of thumb is, if it's fast with a catchy tune, I'll probably like it.

You deleted my post because I linked to my radio station? Why?

I often listen to some electronic music or similar; nothing with lyrics, most of the time. Unless they're downplayed.
I frequent di.fm radio stations quite often, vocal trance, chillout, ambient and such.

Music is kind of a must for me, but nothing with lyrics. Nujabes, Ratatat, etc. Just need the beats.

If I listen to calm music it will make me lose my thinking, Instead of thinking of what code to make I'd be thinking about how horrible the song is.

I listen to music ALWAYS when I work or when I'm just on the computer for a while :D
Edit: Those of you who have my msn should know that my personal message is always a song ;)

Yeah, definately. I wouldn't be able to do anything without music, I walk around with earphones in my ear. When I'm on the computer I plug in my ultra-nifty headphones and listen to music.
I prefer RnB, but I also like Hip-hop and Rock. Not a big fan of the peppy ol' Pop though.

I generally do. I find it helps me get into the concentration 'zone', as it were - it's effectively white noise that helps screen out distractions.

I don't tend to listen to music when I am working.
Music with lyrics or a catchy tune can be distracting and can actually decrease productivity.

Sometimes i listen to music when im working, depends on my mood. I usually listen to oldschool hip hop and r&b, some rock, and game soundtracks (also the cowboy bebop and samurai champloo soundtracks!)

I often listen to music on various Pandora stations and YouTube playlists when I work, but for some reason I tend to favor videogame podcasts instead. *shrug*

I listen to music pretty often work I'm working, especially programming. Usually various types of rock, sometimes pop if it comes up.

I listen to music when I feel like it. However, sometimes it distracts me, especially if the lyrics are distinct enough to constantly pull my thoughts away from numbers,variable names,ect.
Might have to do with how much caffeine I have in me at the time, too.

I ALWAYS listen to music when I'm doing pixel art, matter of fact when I'm doing pretty much anything in my house. I listen to anything with a nice beat nothing slow because then it gets me relax and i don't do anything.

When I'm programming, I'm usually listening to lil wayne or kanye west. It's so boring working with no music.

Usually I just whistle. Seriously. I piss everyone around me off (I only do this at home, though). I've actually gotten pretty good at whistling, though, and I can mimic the tune of any song that isn't insanely fast.
