I really have to take issue with this. Some of my most productive coding sessions have been to the full-volume soundtrack of Nirvana, Joy Division, Pixies, Radiohead, etc, etc, etc.
In my experience it's important that the music has to be of the "wall of sound" type that acts almost as rhythmic white noise. Also they must be tracks you already know very well - new music is not conducive to working, because it distracts your brain.
- topmonk 9y agoI agree that music can help you work, but I also think at the same time, it can negatively affect your motivation to work. I also do listen to the same subliminal audio recordings over and over again, and it fades into the background after awhile, just as regular music does. It's all speculation, of course. I could be suffering from placebo effect. It's just something that I believe has helped me.
