I usually listen to several channels from somafm.com (depending on my mood) but for programming tasks I tend to listen to "sf 10-33" (Ambient music mixed with the sounds of San Francisco public safety radio traffic) and latelly to "Mission Control" (Celebrating NASA and Space Explorers everywhere.", I find them very soothing.

A while back when I played the TIS-100 game (programming parallel chips of very limited scope) I listened to some of these. 4 Hours of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcsUYu0PVxY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhO_MrRfftU Other good options.

I did programming for a while exclusively to it. so... I'd recommend Bjorn Lynne music although I'd have to find good examples, although he has an official channel so he's easy to find.

Programmers should never listen to music generated by their computer, nor CDs played in their computer. Programmers should always use CDs in a CD player out of reach of the position for programming. Also the CD player remote should not be in reach.

Every time the CD stops you get up change to a new CD and then get on with programming.

If you are all neophyte and new fangled (and lower quality even than CDs) restrict your MP3 or Ogg Vorbis player (not the computer for programming) to one album at a time, and put the device out of reach.

Never put a radio on.

The point here is to get up out of the chair for at least 2 mins every 40 mins to 60 mins. For the really keen to stay fit and alive you might want to do a few stretching exercises whilst changing the music. Especially fingers. And neck.

I recommend "The eight pieces of silk brocade" qigong.

I'll have to agree. If I get interrupted 3 or more times in short succession (be it the cats insisting I put more food down, scratching at the door, phone calls, or someone asking me to get them a glass of water because they don't feel like getting up) I'm ready to call it quits for the day. I don't really think I can stand to sit in one spot for as long as 40 minutes anyways. Maybe my chairs are too flat, but I end up shifting quite often or going to get a drink of water when I feel like it, rather than a mandatory every 60 minutes. I'll then wander for several minutes before finally going back to my chair. Being forced to reset or press play on a CD player is just an annoyance, I'm more likely to put it on auto-repeat, as I can listen to the same album several times or the same song for a few hours straight before I need to change it. There's always the possibility you won't notice the music stopped either and go for another half hour or an hour before you realize it, especially when you're in the groove.
