@stevenjames Thanks for being a Code Time user! Music Time amplifies the experience by bringing your Spotify playlists and controls into the editor as well as building custom playlists for you based on how productive you are while listening to particular songs, artists, and genres. I hope you enjoy it!
Hey everyone!
Today we’re excited to announce Music Time for Spotify, a new way for developers like you to use data to discover the most productive music to listen to as you code. With Music Time, you can browse your playlists and discover new music all without ever having to leave your code editor.
⚠️ You’ll need a Spotify account to use Music Time, and a premium Spotify subscription to use playback controls in your editor on Windows/Linux.
🎶 Control Spotify right from your code editor. Play, pause, repeat, and favorite songs from the status bar. Instantly browse all of your playlists and songs right in the sidebar of your code editor, too!
🧪 Quickly discover new music. See music similar to your favorite songs right in your editor. Browse suggested songs, filter by mood and genre, and refresh your list—as many times as you want.
🚀 Find your most productive songs. Learn how the underlying metrics of music (including tempo, loudness, speechiness, energy, and valence) impact how you code. Identify songs and genres that get you in flow.
🤖 Build your personalized AI-generated playlists to help you focus. Every week, we create a customized playlist just for you based on your coding data with songs that will help you get in the zone faster.
🗺️ See what music other developers are coding to. Refreshed weekly, the Software Top 40 compiles the most productive songs from the developer community. You can follow the playlist at software.com/top40.
Music Time is built on the Code Time plugin and performs machine learning against a range of music metrics plus productivity data from over 70,000 developers to determine song recommendations.
Getting started with Music Time for Spotify is simple and free. Download the extension for VS Code, Atom, or any JetBrains IDE, connect your Spotify account, and start coding to your favorite music.
We’d love to hear your feedback and are happy to answer any questions!

As part of our launch, we also invite you to donate alongside our team to Black Girls Code, a non-profit organization that empowers youth to become innovators in STEM through exposure to computer science and technology.
@chet_stokely Thank you! I hope you enjoy the plugin. Make sure to checkout the keyboard commands for controlling the playback, searching for songs and more!
I've been using code time for a long time, it's very useful. I thank the team for their efforts. I don't use Spotify, I use Apple Music, I wish you had a plugin for Apple Music too. I conguratulate you for the launch.
"As part of our launch, we also invite you to donate alongside our team to Black Girls Code, a non-profit organization that empowers youth to become innovators in STEM through exposure to computer science and technology."
However, the above statement of yours doesn't sound sincere, especially during these days. It looks like you're trying to take advantage of Black Girls Code organization by mentioning their name.
The invitation to donate cannot be part of your launch unless you are pledging to donate a certain amount of money to that organization or offering the members of that organization to use your products free (if any of them is paid) etc, these kind of things can be part of your launch not an invitation. I'm saying this from experience.
What you're doing is nothing more than what a lot of politicians are doing.
The invitiation is right, admirable and I absolutely support any kind of donation to them but the reasons behind why you are doing it is not cool. It doesn't suit you.
@onukselcuk we chose Black Girls Code because it’s where we personally have donated to and we think it’s a great program that’s worth supporting. The reasoning we have for mentioning it here is that we can bring more awareness to that program during our launch, not the other way around. And, it seems to be working since we’re talking about Black Girls Code more than the new product.
Please donate if you can. We are.
