Heh, you didn’t ask how I turn them off. 
(Perhaps just as well, though.)
I love listening to trance music while I code, so good.
I’ll bite 
. How do you turn them off ???
I usually don’t have music or anything playing if I’m coding. This is because when I get really into it, I don’t want to switch tabs to search for a new soundtrack or video to play and listen to.
Same way I turn people off—with bad puns. They slink off into a corner, heads hanging, tail between their legs, paws over their ears.
Heh, there are some sites/services that play music continuously—either a particular artist, or playlists of your choice. Still, I can only do that with non-wordy activities.

Well then. I guess when I’m too focused, I can’t just snap out of it. It happened once on a work day. I was coding and when I finally looked at the clock, it was like 1 AM and I had to work at 7 AM. So I only had 6 hours of sleep because I was too focused coding.

I can’t work without music. the type and volume of the songs depend on what i am doing .i use to listen soft and calm instrumental music while working.else songs with vocal surely distract me.

I love random play!

Wonder why? Maybe she gets a little lost in amongst the other 10.5k tracks on my iPod…
I do the long yt playing jazz piano and guitar…
I don’t always listen to music, but when I really need to concentrate I use music that helps me get into the flow. Most of the times it’s music without words like classical or jazz. As of now I often use focus@will. It works very well for me. Check out the science behind music for concentration and focus.
I find it pretty much necessary to drawn all the random sounds around these days.
I sometimes create a “difficult situation” for me when I code. Just to stress my brain a little bit, LOL.
I play a movie in English language, then sometimes I watch it, but for the most of the time I don’t look at it and I only listen the english phrases. I’m Italian… and you know, I still have to learn english perfectly. But I find this solution (sometimes, not everytime) quite stimulating for me.
As for music, I also listen to music with english words for the most of the time, and as far as I only love the “Music” itself instead of the “Lyrics”, well, there is really no problem for me here. But sincerely, to be true, I found myself to better work with electronic music (most of the time no words at all, and just music), if I have to say it all. Ultimately I listened to this collection something like more than 10 times!
