In the era of both remote work and the attempted return to the office, music can make all the difference between a distracted or productive day.
Music has long been linked to bursts of creativity, and many websites exist that can provide workers the ambience needed to get their best work done.
However, there are many to choose from. Here are a few of the best background music websites, according to Morning Brew.
