What do programmers listen to when coding? (1 min survey)

A surprising lack of electronic options. Seems like it's Dubstep or nothing.

And what would something like Parov Stelar fall under? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P5fkw10OkE )

Electroswing? Seems like whoever is running the survey only knows electronic music through the recent dubstep craze. I put electrohouse under Other as well...

trance (progressive, deep, acid, euphoric)? techno (industrial, hardcore, hi nrg, minimal)? rave? and all the various forms of euro disco...

I would be interested more in the source of where everyone is listening: turntable.fm, rdio, spotify, hypem, iTunes, winamp, etc

And iTunes/winamp should probably be broken down into

  * purchased from Amazon/iTunes
  * ripped from physical CD
  * free download
  * streaming audio
  * totally not the pirate bay, i promise

Where are the results?

Results will by on Kinvey's blog tomorrow: http://www.kinvey.com/blog - thx for participating!

I listen to Two Steps from Hell, and Jpop.
