That's pretty much the way it is for me. If I'm having to do a programming task that requires either creativity or intense focus, I can't listen to music, podcast or audiobooks. It's best to be somewhere quiet, but when I'm at the office, I use either nature sounds (Naturespace is really good) or a white noise generator. Past that it depends on mood and what I'm doing. I mostly listen to audiobooks when I'm in the car, though I sometimes do at work when I'm doing repetitive tasks.
