I installed Poolside FM for Macintosh and I haven't used anything else for the past 3 weeks. It's seriously so good.

Depending on the mood but mostly these: https://soundcloud.com/claptone https://open.spotify.com/playlis... https://poolside.fm/

Personally I like to listen to piano playlists of Pixar or Disney soundtracks. Helps really tap into my creative side. An artist I love is Pogo, check him out on YouTube. Disney piano try not to sing along to 'A whole new world' 😂

Mostly K-pop! This is energetic and self-motivating! Here is my playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlis... I can't imagine coding without music! PS: If you know Korean you can feel the song, if not fine you can feel the energy!

I listen to the lo-fi hip hop radio channel on YouTube or brain.fm! The latter is especially great at putting you in the focus zone. I occasionally listen to K-pop or Hip Hop, but I make sure I know the songs really well so I can zone out- if I don't know the song enough, I end up just getting distracted because I'll try to figure out the lyrics/ process the beat.

When I’m programming I prefer instrumentals like https://open.spotify.com/playlis... Or https://open.spotify.com/playlis...

We created and enjoyed the best beats and found a sweet headspace to make some good decisions and enjoyed this great life we have: https://open.spotify.com/playlis...

I listen to worship music a lot of days, but sometimes I can't focus very well with music so I just turn it off.

My music changes depending on whether I'm doing ideation, design work, implementation or writing test cases 😛. It's mostly the famous Deep Focus playlist from Spotify most of the time and sometimes instrumental heavy metal or some Punjabi songs during implementation and test cases.

Totally depends on mood and the type of work. I have very eclectic tastes that can go from Classical all the way to Heavy Metal, R&B, Happy Hardore and worse :-)

I use my app Olympia (https://olympiatasks.com). It nicely blends a todo list with relaxing ambient zones to help induce a flow state. If anyone is interested in trying it out please subscribe to my Upcoming page, and I'll provide early access (https://www.producthunt.com/upco...).

Shameless plug: https://soundescape.io I use it myself while working, ambient soundscapes are one of the best ways to keep productive while working IMO.

I play mostly rock (Deaf Havana, Goo Goo Dolls, Blink 182). But when my work gets too complex, I play Alter Bridge and All Time Low lol

Real programmers code in silence. In all seriousness, it has long been proven that music distracts your brain, especially if there's lyrics in it, so instrumental stuff is your best bet. My go-to genre to get pumped is jazz (nothing like some good ol' Mingus to get the code flowing): And then a bit of Davis for the late evenings: https://www.youtube.com/playlist... Romantic music is great too: And some electronic music for a change:

Almost always Post-Rock Prog music like this playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlis... Mogwai, pg.lost, This Will Destroy You, Russian Circles, etc. On a Friday though when I'm jumping into debugging and troubleshooting with a client as the day ends I usually throw on some "back when music was good" tunes from my teenage years like Taking Back Sunday, Coheed, Rise Against and jam out to this.

I don't usually listen to Spotify's generic playlists as they tend to full of with pop songs but this one is not bad that all. It's not the best of course but it's not much distracting as well. Jazz Vibes https://open.spotify.com/playlis...

Depends on the task, but usually old hits that I know by heart so that my brain doesn't get distracted by novelty. The other day I listened to this episode of Switched on Pop (aka the best podcast ever), and they convinced me to give lo-fi a try: https://switchedonpop.com/episod...

Rock/Metal >> BMTH, Solence, falling In reverse, Beartooth, Asking Alexandria, Immenence, AnnIsOkay,...or whatever youtube suggests me along the lines.

unexpectedly fun and productivity enhancing. I never even played the game once - but I enjoy the "ads"

Anime soundtracks! But listening to music works only when we have to do mindless tasks. It never works for me when I try to do focused tasks, while listening to music. I mostly use ambience noises such as rains and forest atmosphere and it never interferes with our thoughts during intense work period.
