Ask HN: What do you listen to while coding?

1 pointtiernano2 comments

A few days back, a HN post mentioned the headphones people used while hacking (http://priceonomics.com/headphones/#headphones-for-hackers). But one thing i wanted to know: what are those headphones connected to mostly, and what do you use to listen to music? For me, i have iPhone head phones, plugged into my laptop, using Spotify to stream music... What about ye lads?

A while back I wrote a post about what I listen to: http://pileofturtles.com/2010/12/music-for-programming/. tl;dr Electronic Music / Podcasts.

After listening to music while programming for so long now, I actually find it hard to program without music.

I tried listening to podcasts before, but get distracted... i need to listen to the podcast and try considerately on code... Electronic music and dance is good... but as a follow up question: what do you listen to this on? iPod, Computer, phone, other?
