Ask HN: Ultimate Music Playlists for Programming

Posted by tmaly on Friday October 21, 2016 @11:55AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I normally do not listen to music when I code as I am usually trying to do a lot of thinking in my head. However, there are times when there is just too much background noise to process. At other times where I know what I need to code, having music playing is not a problem.

I use the free version of spotify, but I would be open to any other platform if there is a really amazing playlist.

That being said, what is your ultimate music playlist for programming?

I recommend "Music For Programming", which is a series of (now 40+) playlist/programmes collected by guest curators. (It's not on spotify & probably won't be, for licensing reasons; you will need to actually download the shows.)

I rather enjoy SomaFM channels such as Groove Salad and Sounds of Goa. Few other good channels in there as well to change it up

Mixes do just the same thing and are also more rich to enjoy. Cut Chemist's "Fall Backwards" - 90 mins, amazing

Floating Points and Four-Tet's Plastic People mix - 6hrs, also amazing

We can create playlist for Programming in Spotify. Who is willing?
