When you are programming, what kind of music or which song you love to
hear? Is it classic music, piano, or pop music?
Anything I like.
That may be Jazz, Rock, Metal, Pop, Psychedelic, Bop, Swing,
Folk, BlueGrass, R&B, Blues, Trance, Dance (and not to forget)
Acid Trance... With a smattering of Classical, Country, Thrash
Metal and Punk.
I don't like yodelling, opera, or that ..odd eastern music where
"the spaces between the notes - are as important as the notes".
Faster tracks are better for churning out code, more ethereal
and slower tracks for bebugging and designing.
My home system has a playlist of >5K tracks launched
from the start-up sequence - music is my 'WallPaper'.
At the volumes I play my home system - it is lucky that
my neighbours like my taste in music.
... I think sometime hearing music would be helpful in
our productivity, right?
'It depends'. If the listener is someone who is distracted
by the music or vocals - probably not. I would guess that
more programmers would prefer silence to music.
And if all this is about "getting the boss to play the radio
at work" forget it. What works for one person, at one
instant, is probably a distraction for others.
My advice. Get yourself an MP3 player and stop caring
what others are (or are not) listening to.
