I actually have a 1 minute white noise track that I found via Wikipedia a year or two ago. I loop it and it drowns out the chatter in my open concept office. Other times, when it's completely quiet, I'll go with nothing. And when I want to get in the zone while wireframing, I'll turn on some music that I'm familiar with that doesn't take a lot of processing, with lyrics or without lyrics. I'm with "Live", who said they were listening to Kathleen Edwards lately. I never listen to music while writing anything -- particularly reports & analysis. Adrian, you mentioned you'd be scared about programmers listening to music -- I find that amazing! When I was an agile coder we had a stereo on at all times in our team room. It was a great bonding experience because we got to listen to each other's music and hence get to know each other better. And I find music really helps me get into the groove while coding. Also while doing math problems back in engineering school -- HAD to have music. This whole topic is fascinating... the way some people break up their music choices by task, others by time of day.
