Have you ever tried listening to music while coding? do you believe that doing this will help you become more creative and focused? I would like to hear your thoughts about this.
I used to listen to classical music when coding, but now I listen to music that I create myself. A few months back I bought FL Studio 12 and have been teaching myself to make music with it. The fruits of that labor are what I listen to when I code something.
I used to listen to music with a driving beat to keep me up and coding but I found that I started listening more to the music than concentrating on what I was doing.
I now, if it is too quite, just listen to incidental music, Traditional Japanese Music, or even recordings of nature. I like stuff that fades into the background as I find the sound of silence deafening.

Mr. BossMan sama senpai doesn't care if I've got my headphones in all day, and I have google play all access, so I've gone through a shit load of music while I program.
I've recently discovered that Retro Wave is friggin perfect for coding to. NOTE: album cover for First link is NSFW
Album art for all links but 4th link are macabre

edit: I've been absent this forum so long I had no idea Duthomhas was Duoas. I'm like 98% certain I made this exact thread a few times as well, didn't see them on your list
