Only if I don't have the ability to pick the music.

Once that comes into play, any improved productivity from the music itself is lost to hours of clicking "Skip To Next Track".

Not good enough for the distraction levels of which I'm capable. I'd still hop through the playlist.

The best solution I've found is a trusted third party (read: co-worker) who's anal about picking their own music. I'm essentially delegating my procrastination to them!

Ha! That's what they should do building social media apps for music
