I listen to my 130gb music library on shuffle. It's nice to go from Sigur Ros to Mudvayne to Slim Thug within a few minutes, it seems to effect how i play.

Much like the motion detector sound in Aliens a rhythmic beat can effect your heart rate(i.e. get you pumped up or down). Faster music is more likely to increase your APM as you start doing your actions fast in reaction, slower music might slow you down or relax you so you flow better and thus your apm increases also. Depends on the person.

I've experimented with making Zerg inspired music. WTH is Zerg music? Not music from zerg sounds but music with particular beats or sounds every x seconds consistant with larva spawn times. So say approximately every 15seconds for a few seconds the music would change to denote its time to macro with my hatcheries. Enough time to 5s?,6s?,7s?,8s?,9s?,0s? and then the music goes back to normal.
The beats between those time would be in tune with what APM i'm trying to achieve next. I.e. after removing the macro actions per minute I can get a figure of how many beats to have in the inbetween macro periods.

Pros can do 400+ apm. I'm only a 50->150 apm player so I don't need many beats to make a piece of 100apm music. But it doesn't sound very interesting at all. But it might be useful for teaching the mind to remember to macro and do more actions. Jury is out though as I also feel any music with tonnes of different changing notes is good too like fast trance or something.

Music can surely have an effect, I think when you get to Jaedong levels your apm and stuff is ingrained in your system and then music is more of a distraction then anything else.

Visit the "Vocal Trance" thread for music that really helps you get that apm pumping.
Works wonders for me anyway.

Listening to music makes it hard for me to concentrate. My play becomes less focused and my apm goes down. Sorry

I personally don't agree with using music for playing Starcraft since if u use music to improve ur apm or game performance then u would be solely dependent on relying on music to improve ur game performance instead of practicing more. Although I do not deny that music would help in certain aspects like hearing to a certain type of music would help u to become more focused and blah blah blah. I also used binaural beats in studying last time but I feel everyone would feel it's too boring to listen to

Somehow I can't listen to music while playing. First it's all good, but in the later stages of the game I'm so focused and the music becomes nothing but a noise that's disturbing my concentration:/

I'd say listening to music makes playing longer sessions more enjoyable, but if you're really playing to win it shouldn't matter what you're listening to: get your head in the game. If I was playing a very important match it would be no music, but with sounds. There's no use cutting out one of your senses (hearing).

I listen to "No Matter the Cost" from Echoes of War sometimes. Do I play better? Probably not, but the game feels twice as epic.

I have a few starcraft playlists with upbeat rhythmic music that helps me stay in a good rhythm and gives me energy to play.

I might upload some of my genre compilations actually.

As a stodgy album listener, I tend to queue up a few albums and listen while I play.

Black metal (e.g. Darkthrone, Burzum) is good because you play in time with the inordinately fast drumming and the grim atmosphere works well as a Zerg player. I also use southern hip-hop (e.g. UGK, Three 6 Mafia) because of the attitude adjustment it provides.

Well that's what I'm basically trying to get at. Just que up your favorite albums and artists and then listen to it for a while.or, what u can do is just use pandora or last.fm to help u out and create a playlist.

When I'm playing I tend to flow with my music, whether it's some metal or stuff like TooL, it just helps me to find a rhythm.
When you are prepared, there's no such thing as pressure.
