What does everyone listen to when they are studying?

I had been a man using last.fm for all of mine so I get a general mix of everything, but it's gone downhill in my opinion and gives more trash than gold... so at this very moment in time I have the Keane - Hopes & Fears album on

The Cranberries is great study music. Not too distracting.

 

Spotify baby...loving it !! Check out the free version...it's got study playlists and classical stuff if you fancy giving that a go.

 

I can't work with any background distraction whatsoever, so nothing.

 

I'm with Simon on this, no music, no tv, total silence!

 

DI.FM, in particular, Trance.

 

No music here aswell, dont see how you can concentrate on a video or reading a book with music on in the background

 

Definitely. If there's music on then my mind is focussing too much on the words/music

 

Glad it's not me that insists on silence! I've always had to study in silence otherwise I just can't concentrate!

 

It depends for me, mostly I stick my ears in and listen to music when studying otherwise all I here is the wifes eastenders or something else just as mind numbing when I'm trying to study. Actually I've built up a bit of an 80's collection on spotify which I'm quite enjoying as study music at the moment.

 

If I'm reading, especially a hard, long chapter, then silence is golden.

But if I'm concentrating on a video or doing a lab-session, then any backround noise just disappears for me anyway, so there would be no point...

 

Two Steps From Hell

Epic epic music.

No distracting words and really gets the positive mood up

In depth concentration times.... silence as has been mentioned.

Currently listening to the Top Gun soundtrack whilst finishing an SBS migration, so sometimes anything goes

 

Some good artists I have come across recently :-

Godspeed You!Black Emperor
Thomas Bergersen
Two Steps From Hell
Gareth Emery
OceanLab
Samantha James
Kenny G
Carbon Based Lifeforms
Amity Affliction

 

I can't do the silence thing while studying, my hearing too good. So when I study its classic 90's rock, guns n' roses and so on. It worked while I was at school and college and it works now (:

 

Dead silence here too... I soak up the info a lot better when there is zero distractions. I don't know how y'all can truly concentrate when listening to music. Kudos to you if you can.

Multitasking will degrade the quality of the tasks more often than not. The brain is hardwired similar to a CPU chip, "multitasking" is accomplished by switching back in forth between the two processes at such a speed they only appear to be happening at the same time.

 

No music when studying. I like to take breaks every half hour or so though and listen to a couple of tracks.

 

Classic FM
