It depends on what my current task is.

If it's something tedious, i.e. robotically making some kind of change throughout a code base, then my attention span can handle the additional load and the music may help me not procrastinate.

But for anything involving serious thinking, all forms of music I've tried are too much of a distraction.

I have ADD, which may be a factor.

Similar for me. Track has to be something very familiar and with a steady rhytm. Task has to be something semi-mechanical, like implementing an idea in code with no additional thinking required.

Haven't been diagnosed, but attention span is pretty short.

May want to get evaluated for ADD. My worklife improved greatly once I had a diagnosis, because at least for me there are some meds that truly help.
