Music plays a huge role in my life. I listen to a lot of music and I’m pretty picky about my music. I’m not even remotely an audiophile but I don’t bother with crappy quality music downloads. I want 256kbps at a minimum and I prefer the AAC format.

I’ve started listening to music on SoundCloud a lot lately. I have found quite a bit of music that works really well for me when I work and its great quality. I created a playlist of some great music for work which is my default when I start working and I thought I’d share it:

I’ve also started using Apple Music (3 month free trial – why not?) and I like it quite a lot! The selection is great and I like many of the suggested play lists. It also ties into the store where I buy my music (Apple Music is basically a gateway to music purchases) so that works well for me too.
