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"!

Same for me -- EXCEPT for certain Brain.fm tracks, and my carefully-curated "flowstate" playlist consisting of a few dozen familiar tracks w/ no lyrics and a steady beat. These are only sort of "music" to me; they're _strictly_ for use as background for focus, w/ noise-cancelling headphones, and I don't listen to them for any other purpose.
