Do you listen music while programming?

[NicciSixx]

I find my productivity goes up a lot when i listen to music, keeps my mind from wondering. Whenever I'm getting nothing done I stick some loud music in my headphones take my shoes off and i always manage to get focused.

It really depends on my mood. Sometimes music gives me a good boost and keeps me focused, other times the music is just way to distracting and I work in silence...

Yeah, and unless its late at night or my brother's asleep I keep it up pretty high. Mostly stuff like Nevermore, DevilDriver, or Fear Factory.

Nice poll ;-)

While programming, I like to listen to hard trance and good old Belgian retro house!
The BPM kinda takes control of my typing rate ;-)
So, loud and shout, as it filters out unwanted background noise. Earphones preferred though, not sure if my colleagues would appreciate that kind of music...

Interesting poll,
I never actually thought about it, but it all depends on the project i guess, I'll listen to music when the project is trivial and something i know i can get done. If the project is more involved and challenging, i need every bit of concentration so its silence then..I have no particular genre, i just put all the music i have on shuffle.

I never listen when coding. It is disturbing me. I guess it is just me but since you asked.

As some poeple said, silence is just too boring. Always have somehting in the background, not too loud though.

gaddlord I'm on your side

And thank you all so far, I'm very glad that you like this poll!

I made it because my boss keep saying me that I am the only one on heart that hate hear every sort of nois or music while programming... actually, given from the results, I am starting to wonder that my boss was right...

When I'm at work, I find no music is best for concentration.

When at home however, I can't stand silence and have to have music.

Maybe the ambience noise at work is enough for me.

I do listen to music when I know what I'm doing, it even gives me new ideas. But I turn it off when I research, because it gets me distracted.

If I have (usual || normal) mood I listen "Some good music/radio at medium level".
If I have (good || greate) || (bad || terrible) mood I listen "Loud and shout ".
