Very interesting. Up until now I been thinking that I need some kind of noise or non-vocals music just to silence the other distractions to get started, once I get in a "flow state" I think music becomes white noise to me and I barely notice the music playing. Never noticed particularly that anything from any of those playlists on YouTube got distracting in between.
I too have noticed that I end up having to look for some other playlist every few days once that combination of tones starts getting familiar.
Unfortunately, Deezer isn't available globally so can't access that playlist. Thanks for sharing.

Is there any way to export the list (csv, Google Sheets, etc.)?
The tracks are under .tracks.data[]
You’re the first person I’ve met who knows this limit. Every time I complain about the 2k limit in my social circles, I get these weird looks like they’re saying “who’d ever need more than 2k songs?”
Unless you have an online service you won’t be able to keep this playlist in sync on another platform as I continue cultivating it. I do keep a backup of the playlist in the event Deezer disappears.
I used a service (soundiiz) that only allows 200 songs to be converted for free.
My method is to vet a random playlist by listening to it during an intense coding session. If I can make it through without getting distracted I add it to my focus playlist.
I have a subsequent vetting process where - if at any point when listening to a song on my focus playlist - a song grabs my attention I’ll remove it.
It’s grown to over 75 hours of music at this point. I can listen to it for days on shuffle without hearing anything familiar which helps keep it in the background.
