Don't you feel that source of problem is "cowhouse" where you work? ("open plan" in manager language) Developers should sit in quiet place, free from coffee machines, phones, and managers pissing around. And then you'll need no music and increase your efficiency from 10% till 100%.

100% of the coders at my work agree with you although there's only two of us in a company of 300+ people. Since we have our own offices with a wall that is shared with the manufacturing plant, we both have speakers with the tunes turned up just to the point that people walking down the hall can't hear it, but loud enough to cover up most of the shop noise. We find that not only does metal keep us pumped and coding/CAD-ing faster, it also deters some people from making unnecessary stops in our offices since we usually only turn it down a little when they walk in.

Unfortunately, I have disabled Flash on my browsers, so I cannot run Spotify in them. However, I do have the PC app. Could you perhaps reply with the playlist name so I can hunt it down? Big thanks in advance. My programming music is all minimalist/ambient as well: Kammarheit, Matt Borghi, Psychomanteum, etc.

'coder insiites' -- it's mostly minimal, but there is the odd uplifting tune in there to try and remember not to take anything too seriously. Enjoy

Check out kahvi.org also. A ton of good stuff there. Try their collections to get a flavor. Start with "Tiny Robots".
There is also a great collection of space music called Deep Space Vol 1, 2, & 3 on archive.org.
Here's Vol 1 (the best out of the 3) - https://archive.org/details/gv219

Couldn't seem to find the collection Tiny Robots. But the stuff on archive.org was very cool. I like very peaceful ambient music like this when i'm coding. Although, i also tend to mix in some more uplifting tunes. Good to come out of the zone sometimes. Anyway, brilliant cheers

This is a seriously cool playlist. Having a good listen right now: Cheers::

Have had a good listen. This is some serious ambient stuff. I must admit that i like to throw in a couple of more uplifting happy tunes. Gotta pull back from the zone now and then. Brilliant cheers.

My problem (as an amateur drummer) is that anything with a beat I'm off and out of the coding zone.

I know what you mean. Not that i'm a drummer !!

I have long used the channel dreamscapes on sky fm. Quite nice as well, until they started to flood publicity and limit to 30 mins idle in the free version.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It can be any kind of music from classical to death metal, depending on my mood, but it's mostly progressive rock (Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, etc.)

I love Porcupine Tree......and not forgetting Rush

It creates in my subconscious a good feeling based on the sensations that I had when playing that good old game many years ago.

I used to listen to classical, but now I am listening to Game of Thrones soundtracks Season 1-5.

Carl Franklin (of DotNetRocks fame) has produced a series of tracks designed specifically to "get you in the zone" for coding. Originally started as a Kickstarter project there are now a number of styles to choose from and they work well in my experience.

I don't listen to only one type of music during coding. It generally depends on what I'm in the mood for as to what I listen to...sometimes metal or rock, sometimes EDM, sometimes nothing, etc.
