I literally cannot code without music, at all. If I don't have something to deflect my focus from the outside world, I will lose concentration and end up writing really disjoint code that I nearly always end up having to rewrite later. This becomes a problem when working on highly object-oriented projects, as I almost entirely lose track of the scope of different elements without something blaring in my ears. I'm not actually listening to the music at all, but just using the noise to shield myself from distractions.
I'm sure I can't be the only one, does anyone else absolutely need music to code?
It's a Microsoft product, and Slashbots love to bash Microsoft just for the sake of bashing Microsoft, even when they do something half-decent(Zune) or even good(Xbox 360).
I'm a huge Xbox360 fan, and really think Microsoft has turned a leaf recently.
However, I am also a musician, and can't help but absolutely hate SongSmith, as hilarious as it is.
