Am I the only person who can't listen to anything while coding? My attention goes straight to the music, and I can't concentrate on the task at hand!

When I was in high school, my math teacher would play Mozart during tests, claiming it would help us. It would drive me crazy, and I doubt that my grades improved as a result of the distraction.

For what it's worth, I have a BMus in Piano Performance. I love music... but never as "background noise"!

I had this problem at a job where music was piped in, at one time I was a professional musician so I'm trained to hyperfocus on the song at hand when listening, I like having background noise but listening to actual music is distracting.
