The old masters. I tried not to include most opera composers, since singing/lyrics interfere with concentration. Most of these playlists are at least an hour long:
Baroque (prancing through the flowers with royalty):
Classical (sipping tea with royalty while listening to their woes and gossip):
Romantic (watching a heartfelt, teary-eyed scene in a soap opera):
Impressionistic (stargazing in an open field at midnight):
Late Romantic/Early Modern (dramatically confessing your love in the pouring rain):
Modern (these get sub-categories because they’re so different):
Long, random playlists: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)
Youtube Channels:
There’s also playlists on Spotify (just go to Browse > Genres & Moods > Classical).

Sometimes the old masters are too stuffy. I get it. Have some more long playlists from a few of my favorite contemporary artists:
Piano
Violin

Maybe you don’t like classical at all. That’s fine, too. Here’s some wub-wub to get your mind on track:
Aggressive & Intense (dubstep, deathstep, metalstep, etc)
Chill & Melodic (chillstep, deep house, melodic dubstep)
Upbeat & Dancy (electro house, club music, more chillstep)
There are countless other Youtube channels and mixes. You can also find some playlists on Spotify (Browse > Genres & Moods > Electronic).

Of course, there are countless people who don’t have huge channels and maybe only a cover or two. The search bar is your friend. And don’t forget to make a playlist!

Think about it, there are tons of people whose only job is to get the atmosphere of a game right by carefully composing the right music. And there are plenty of games with beautiful music. I love these playlists:

You’ll look like weeaboo trash, but at least you’ll be concentrating. You might need to skip a few tracks here and there if they have lyrics (that messes up my concentration, at least). That said, here’s some recommended playlists:
