24 alternatives to Focus Music

I built this because I was tired of the focus music dance—opening YouTube, fighting autoplay recommendations, getting distracted by comments. As a developer, I spend hours in deep work mode. I wanted something that just works: one click, instant focus music with actual binaural beats (not just labeled that way). I'd love your feedback: Which genre do you reach for when you need to focus? Any features you'd want to see added?

I also turned it into a more "traditional" non-interactive album, but since I started with code, why not program the whole thing? Had a blast making the entire album from code, the complete source for the album is…
