Here is something I have been listening to while I edit. It is a 175 song playlist on youtube of some extremely inspirational type music...
Epic Music Playlist
Relaxing mood music...mostly solo piano. I have a Pandora station that is perfect for background music that doesn't distract.
BTW, I just finished a week of editing a photo shoot for a dance studio. Yesterday was an 18 hour session from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 a.m. this morning!!! I am absolutely fried right now.
Whatever distracting tv show my wife is watching at the time. Usually some reality show, but at the moment it is "The Rocketeeer". If the tv is off because she's not around, it's often a custom country western channel on Pandora.com.

18 hour session!!! How many images did you get done in that time?
A random sampling of artists in my Napster "Now Playing" list:
Nomo, Simon Nabatov, Brad Mehldau, Embryo, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Mel Lewis, September Collective, Hauschka, Rez Abbasi, The Gentleman Losers, Marcus Schmickler, Usaisamonster, Respighi...
How's that for eclectic? At the moment, though, I'm listening to my son play piano. The PC sits next to a Baldwin baby grand...

9... (runs for shelter)
Actually, 9 would have been about right for the panoramic composites that I processed before the 18 hour session. The dance studio wasn't large enough and two 10x20' backdrops sideways (one on the wall, one on the floor) weren't large enough to accommodate the number of students per dance. So I had to take numerous pictures of the students and then create composites for each of the 19 dances. That was a b!+(h...especially when I used two different colored gels to color the background and it took three full days.
In the 18 hour processing marathon I processed about 350 shots. Some were simple levels, cropping and sharpening. Some were a lot more involved, especially the ones where we got creative with props, lights, and fog.
Got about 7 done in the 6 or so hours that I accumulated yesterday. I switched up music about half way to the music I listen to in the car which to some may scare people so I will warn you before you click here.
