Number 2 sounds like hell

I think it more about placating part of your brain so the other bits can get on with the task at hand.

Number 2 is the default way I listen to music - I put a song on a loop and change it when I grow tired of hearing it. For new songs this means couple of hours to couple of days; for the ones I'm familiar with it's usually something around an hour.

I can’t recall if it was like hell getting into this habit at first. But it’s so ingrained now that it’s kind of like greasing the pan before you start cooking.

You can give it a try with the amazing Infinite Jukebox! Here's a perennial favourite, "Call Me Maybe": http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRORQWV13762CDDF4C http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRORQWV137... (I will not be held accountable for your resulting lapse into total insanity after 20 minutes or so.)

    You used to be able to upload your own tracks on the front page, but you really need lots of similar sections for it to skip around - Gotye someone that I used to know also worked well.

    Looks like they removed the "upload" button: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/faq.html http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/faq.html And it doesn't appear to be open source, sadly.

I remember spending a shift (in a kitchen) listening to nothing but "Going Loco Down In Acapulco". The challenge being to not break before someone else did. You gotta just commit to the song.

I've done 2(repeat same song or a couple songs) for a few hours with early foo fighter while coding. Repeating "X-Static" and "Exhausted" which have a slow plodding droning kind of sound worked for grinding out some lotus script (that was a while ago....)

The only song I can do this with is "My Favourite Game" by the Cardigans. Spent too much time as a kid playing long races on Gran Turismo 2, and it was always my favorite track. I think it's because there are really only about 2-3 parts to the song. It doesn't really build up or down... it's a bit flat. And given that it's flat, you almost don't notice when it loops.
