I've realized I've gotten pretty bored of the default starcraft music so i want try listening to something else while playing for a change.

I've found that metal and rock kind of distracts me while playing so can anyone recommend me what kind of music works well while playing?

You could try this thread to pick some music, but it most cases depends on the person.

Some people listen to heavy metal, others to piano, others to korean pop or some don't listen to anything at all. Personally, I found out that listening to music is a little distracting and annoying once you're 20+ mins into a game and you need to rely more and more on your decision making.

Find Godskitchen: Worldwide, pheer recommended it to me and it is a really good trance set.

If trance sucks... then... I don't know... this?

but FirstBorn is right, in the end, if you are laddering on ICCUP or whatever, no music is the best solution at all. But if you're just dicking around BGHing or something then music is fine.

i never liked trance, but in Ret's live stream yesterday he had trance playing and I idn't mind it that much
so even if you don't like trance you might want to give it a try while you play, just as background noise. i find regular ambiance music doesn't do much for me

Haha, I find this thread funny cause I was thinking a lot about it yesterday after watching Chill / Ret play on their streams.

I've decided to download a lot of trance, I'm probably gonna play with that for a while. I listen to rock and stuff but I have a lot of slower songs on my playlist, I think it would be better for me overall to listen to upbeat stuff as I play

i don't play any music if i'm playing ladder (I turn off in game music and dont play regular music), I just let the sweet noises of my zerg units entertain me.

i dunno sometimes when i've practically won the game and its just the other person not gging, i get really bored and start fucking around and end up losing the game because of something impossibly stupid i've done.

I play my full winamp playlist randomized (about 1200 songs), and invariably the sc music from a different race comes on and confuses the hell out of me.

Yeah play trance music it goes so well with the starcraft unit sounds. Not to mention it's just plain nice to keep focus.

I don't know how you do that. I can't possibly listen to a wide array of music without getting completely distracted. Like going from frank sinatra to rhapsody would make my macro go haywire .

If i didn't hate stuff like trance so much i'd consider it to be a pretty good choice to remain focused. Since I can't stand it, or anything like it, I usually stick to Starcraft music or just cut everything out. I think the fact that I listen to the SC music also has a bit of an impact on my affinity to the three races. I just can't get enough of Zerg and Terran music and units responses, while the Protoss' don't really keep me entertained. Though of course it could be going the other way around, and I don't like their music because I didn't like the race to begin with, it's kind of hard to tell.

I play Ravel, Beethoven and Sibelius, mainly.
