Does music help you write? Do you have playlists for specific fics? How do you feel about noise in general?

Music sometimes helps me write. For some reason, music can help me focus. It does need to be something I know relatively well, however. I've made playlists for two of my long fics, but I don't generally do that. Of course, those two long fics are the only long fics I've done much work on. Maybe, if I started another long fic, I'd make another playlist. It seems like a lot of work for a short story.

I like to have some background noise while I work. A TV show that I don't care much about can work, but often those are too distracting. Familiar music seems to work best.
