Questionmusic+codememberstib_markc10 May '12 - 1:16 
Do you prefer silence or some music when you are coding?
I glue my earphones to my ears while nickelback & linkin park mp3's are playing in repeat mode.   Smile | :)

Well i like to categorize my work in 2 modes:
 
1. When I know what need to be done and the task is just coding, coding and coding.
2. There is something new to learn. I get to know new stuff and perhaps do a lot of reading, understanding and implementation.
 
for the case 1: definitely the music is required.
for case 2: nope, as music will distract me. i might get the work done with music but I will not be able to extract the proper learning out of it.

Perfect, take my 5.
It is like driving in a known locality or driving in a unknown new place.
While driving in a known locality the hands will automatically guide the vehicle to destination, while in the unknown place, we need to concentrate without distraction

Love this category too. here i listen music too but the question was about music+code and not about music+procrastination so i didn't mention this category.
 
Disclaimer: I am no way trying to say procrastination is good, for those who don't, please don't start.
 
Disclaimer on disclaimer: I am also not saying it is bad. for those who do - no offense

Antidote to procrastination (most of the times) is Delegation of the task—it may not be unpleasant to someone else! and you can enjoy your music Poke tongue | ;-P

yes, that is why I asked when you are coding.. ok may be I should be precise. Certainly, when learning a new thing we(well most of us) need 100% concentration.

Instead of hearing thru earphone,if we hear through the speaker with low volume it really creates a jolly mood. Which would be so refreshing for our work Smile | :)
