I put my headphones on and don't listen to anything when I am doing something high level / conceptual. The main idea is to not let others bother / disturb you. If there's noise around or any distracting conversations or something, I turn on trip hop / lounge - anything with slow bpm and calm, familiar... of course, there are instances when you are facing a creative block and music can be good inspiration; i log on to some internet radio service like aol / spinner and experiment with new music... world music also helps.
If I am working on something low level / details (more often repetitive stuff), then I listen to something faster - like ministry of sound / fabric sort of compilations, chemical brothers / moby etc. to keep myself alert, awake. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
