I'm certain you guys listen to some form of music while you map, I prefer non-intrusive electronica, chillstep, soft techno video game remixes and orchestral pieces in general, but I love almost all music styles. I'm kindof trying to expand my music library here, especially since I totally forgot most of my favorite music after my computer reformatted itself and I lost it all!
I can listen to some music if I have a plan laid out and if I have done something multiple dimes before, but when it comes to data, or triggers, I gotta turn the music off so I can think some haha.

I sortof feel you there, if I'm doing lots of data stuff I usually run through my playlists and I'm listening to silence until I'm done, because I just don't realize to turn it back on!
Not while mapmaking, cause I need full concentration, so I either don't percept the music or disfocused and mapmaking slow.
But definitely while modelling. Music doesn't interfere with visual part of brain. Well, not entirely, some synesthetic effects are present, but it only stimulates visual core, it's just too strong to handle some additional source of information. So, while modelling I listen to a music with complex and beautiful harmony and complex non-4/4 rhythmes, like classics or art/prog rock, which places me to the skies better than weed. I once linked something I like in one of the "what do you listen while mapmaking" threads, but no one reacted, so I won't now.
Trance works sometimes too, for example, that thing Goa linked sounds fine. So, pay attention to what Goa says about trance, he knows what he's talking about.
I like listening to soundtracks while mapping. I just find a whole soundtrack on one youtube video and listen away with needing to click replay or finding another. Like FFXI, Kingdom Hearts, etc.
Unclesatana, I dislike your name, but like your music preference, that's about what I listen to, all the time. If data stuff gets involved I usually tune out the music till I figure it out, and it's usually figured out by testing so there's plenty of downtime to listen to the music going IMO.

I actually just finished both of those like last week :)

Unfortunately without some backstory my name won't make sense haha..
As long as I have a playlist going music doesn't bother me, but if I'm having to switch it every song like on youtube, it definitely slows me down and I'll stop listening.

The violin trance I listened to for hours yesterday, it was pretty amazing. I've been modelling and you're definitely right, music doesn't interfere as much, but when I'm making maps and using the data editor as long as the music is minimal I don't have to switch the music off.
Usually more ambient stuff such as thunderstorm tracks, soundtracks from movies or games, or even some soft dubstep work best for me!
Never actually tried the thunderstorm tracks, that sounds freaking amazing. There was this one remix for a metroid song and it included thunderstorms and it was a soft techno song with piano in it. I'm gonna have to find that again!!
hmm, wasnt radio reformed recently in US? Now you can have like 1000 radio wave channel?
Btw I am mapping currently and listening good old Astral Projection:
I love Astral Projection!!! Thanks for bringing this back to my attention, bookmarked! :D
Also most radio stations around here are incredibly bad, I don't want to hear Tiao Cruz and Justin Bieber over and over again while I'm mapping, the only station that's good is the 60s rock station, which I do tend to listen to while driving at least.

Here's a few playlists I've put together of my favorite songs off of Soundcloud, which is a freaking awesome site.
Other than that, I listen to alot of music from ocremix.
So what do you guys listen to while you're mapping, programming, modelling etc., I'd love to know!
Nothing like silence to leave me fully exposed to my obsession.
Also: this link might be of interest to you
@DuckyTheDuck: Go
Silence make me hallucinate, I need to full fill my audio interceptors or they will live their own life:)
Here some violin + trance: https://soundcloud.com/konstrance/sets/violin-in-trance

Google play music really helps.
If it's too quiet inside I start thinking about everything around me, the things outside are very loud here.
Also I did see that link and I wanted to post in it, but I realized it was posted in March, so I started my own :D
This is amazing!!! Bookmarked for sure! This is really the kind of music I love, orchestral trance/techno.

I've never even heard of that! Hahah looks like I gotta catch up with the times. I'll check it out, thanks!
This is next on my listen list!!

music is the future <3
music is the past, randomized noise is the future!:D
Motivating but still allowing for full concentration. :)
Wow, great chillout music!
Not bad at all! Interesting stuff, never heard of these guys before.
I agree with Hookah, I really liked this. I listened to the whole thing lol.
A little weakness of mine, old game music. Really been liking the Spyro 1 soundtrack. My share of the day hah
I just turn on the radio. A station where they make jokes of todays events and play todays top music.

As for me here are a few I listen to:
Else anything from Crush40, The Black Mages or Zun (Touhou).
As you can see my ego needs at least a +12 points boost for me to feel motivated.
