      I think this is a really good answer. Just search for a focus playlist on whatever platform and let it run.

      If I’m picking out music more specific, I find myself thinking about that, and what it’s like, and if it’s helping, and maybe I should hey this other album or artist.

      Don’t let picking the music distract too much from focusing on what you want to do.

    Use something mellow in a different language from your own, it is less distracting.

    I like to listen to brasilian Bossa Nova like this Getz/Gilberto Album

    Or something without lyrics like Yiruma if you like Piano music.

    Not really a album but MyNoise.net has a lot of good generators for background noise. Radio Free Fedi’s Comfy channel also is great for chill study music, and it only plays indie artists that have Fediverse accounts with links to the artist support pages where you can either buy their albums (or songs to build your own piecemeal) https://radiofreefedi.net/.

    I just added a bunch of classical to a playlist and then removed the occasional piece I found distracting. I still use that playlist when I need to focus.

    I like listening to video game music when studying. I heard somewhere that game designers use their music to keep you playing their game and lose track of time and hyper focused.

    Don’t do albums or long playlists, because every time it ends you’ll realize time has passed and you’ll stop studying. Instead pick a song or two or three and just play on repeat so you lose track of time. But if you must, then Toxicity by System of a Down.
