what music to put in background when working / to increase concentration / while studying I get bored a lot when working and get also distracted easily by outside noises. I'm looking for non-distracting music to put in the background. I'm familiar with iMusic. And there's some classical. Any further suggestions?

Answer:
I tend to listen to albums that I have listened to TO DEATH and can predict every note of when programming or doing other tasks that require concentration. New music only gets listened to in the car or some other place where my brain is idle. It goes out of rotation in the car when I've memorized every note, at which point it becomes programming music.

Load up a Pandora channel with the artists in http://www.metafilter.com/127152/Psybient. Avoid music with words; this has been shown experimentally to interfere with other tasks.

Brian Eno, "Music for Airports". Just about anything ambient by Eno, really.

I used to use movie soundtracks. My go-tos were the Gladiator, The Fountain, and Lord of the Rings soundtracks. I also liked listening to Explosions in the Sky while working, but their music has big climaxes and soft-loud dynamics, and I don't know if that's conducive to work for you.

I find long tracks are helpful, because the transitions between songs break my train of thought. For me that means if I want something energetic I go for either gonzo over-the-top prog rock epics (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNkWac-Nm0A, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9A-gPOq1OQ), or live Dead/Phish sets; and if I want something a little more late-night-ish I go for GY!BE or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls1OYn_xGzM. YMMV.

Get a http://www.fm3buddhamachine.com/v2/. This might be stretching the definition of the term "music." But there's something about the repetition that helps put me into that zone of concentration.
