Re:Why Music Is Helpful for Concentration by _xerces_ on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @12:30PM (#24629862)
I don't believe evidence supports music being an aid to concentration directly. However, it does make some tasks more tolerable and might extend the time a person is willing to spend on it. Whether the trade-off is worth it, depends on the individual.

I will also add that some tasks don't require high levels of concentration, just sustained attention - for example porting code from one similar codebase to another.
