Depending on my mood I listen to hip-hop when I code. I've tried various genres but for some reason hip-hop is working the best for me right now. I will either listen to just one song on auto repeat or a tiny playlist of < 5 songs on shuffle/repeat. Too many songs and I find that I get distracted when the songs change. At times I also listen to a "white noise" CD called Holosync that is theoretically supposed to help improve neural connections. I like it just because it is noise and not distracting, but I have no evidence to show that it helps me code or is actually improving my brain function. I've had multiple days where I made fantastic progress while listening to the Notorious BIG's "Hypnotize" on continuous loop for 12+ hours straight. :-)
