jaymo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Its something which I couldn't used to be able to do as It would be very distracting but over the years I have started to listen to music while I code, personally I like to listen to some really powerful metal/rock tracks to get me in the mood haha! Bands like Trivium, Billy Talent, Foo Fighters usually are good listens. I was just wondering what anyone else listens to on here? Curious about other peoples music tastes! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjddev Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I usually turn on the radio, and tune in on a good radio station. Having music on the background while coding really helps me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnenb Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I can't listen to anything while programming. I just end up banging on the desktop, singing out loud etc. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Always listening to music, whenever I do anything really. http://www.last.fm/user/daavemac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNG Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I listen to music and some times watch T.V only when i'm doing something for me; I am easily distracted so I don't listen to music while working on other people work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magictallguy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 As a professional musician, I can't help but listen (and sing to) music, no matter what I'm doing! DJK will probably remember that I wouldn't shut up when I want to visit him a couple of years ago xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesiidae Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 My musical tastes change quite often as it is. Though when it comes to coding, I like to listen to something a bit slower, something more relaxing and something that doesn't make focus too much on a song -- which as a guitarist, happens quite a lot. xD! I tend to lean towards Doom Metal, but it can change, some days I'll feel like listening to something a bit faster and more technical like Nile, other days I'd rather listen to trip hop or perhaps ambience. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
