Wouldn't it be better to provide each person with headphones? So they can listen to whatever they want.

That's the right solution.

It may well be. But this was more fun!

How about no music?

I will never again work in an office with music if I can help it. First was the elevator music in a cube farm job, then the dubstep and rap in a small, young office.

The author writes, " because (in my opinion) there’s nothing worse than being forced to listen to Metallica when trying to do, well, pretty much anything."

For me, Metallica is nearly optimal. I understand the other perspective, which is why I don't support metallica being played to a whole office. I expect the same courtesy from people who have different taste.

Ah, yet another site that needs JS just to read text.

This is not the progress I was looking for.

Cool idea but be careful about publicly admitting to using consumer licensed music (Spotify) in a business setting.

Because your company is playing music for your staff it is considered "Public Performance" and therefore falls under a different royalty rate.
