I think I must be the only person who does not have one.
I also never have my mobile phone swtiched on - it's only for emergencies in the car.

LOL! Well, at least let us in on a few songs Mabsy!
And do tell which audiobooks you like
(If you don't mind.)
Emma2006 - My mobile phone is always on! One way or another, I'm on it. My mom and grandmother are "emergency only" cell phone people too. My grandmother asked me once: "Does your phone even allow you to call people? You do everything but that!
poohlisey - I wanted a phone that had an mp3 player included but I got my ipod for xmas. It would go unused and the person that gave it to me would be seriously miffed LOL! |

Ok, looking at my playcounts, the 2006 and 2007 ministry of sound is doing a fair bit of playing. As is Tiesto's stuff and the recent "A state of trance" offerings. I've also got a fair bit of Kylie Minogue playing recently, but her older stuff. There's some Evermore, Snow Patrol, Dave Mathews Band, Evanescence, etc
In terms of audio books, I have an Audible subscription so I get a few books a month. I have a liking for popular psychology - Blink, Tipping Point, Freakonomics, Social Intelligence, Linked, etc Also, I have to read a lot of business books for work so I take the easy way out and have those on audio as well (things like Blue Ocean Strategy, The Long Tail, Search, etc). For entertainment, I have quite a few of Bill Bryson's books and his book about Australia is my absolute favourite (and it's so spot on!). Come to think of it, I rarely buy paper books anymore and if I do it tends to be impulse purchases at airports mainly. |

I have a 2nd generation 2G ipod Nano. It has a lot of Tori Amos, a lot of Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails... also Damien Rice, Dar Williams, Clash, Beatles, Bowie, Cure, Portishead, Morningwood, Wilco... I like a good mix. I should be listening to it right now!
WHile we're on the topic, has anybody found any really good, not astronomically priced earbuds? The ones that come with the ipod don't stay in my ears, and really aren't good sound quality. |

I put downloaded b-sides and full albums of the following artists into the same folders on my mp3 player (too many songs to name):
AFI
Muse
Ash

Funeral For A Friend
Eskimo Joe
Saosin
Circa Survive
The Receiving End of Sirens
Thursday
Placebo
Peeping Tom
Razorlight
Lostprophets
Queens of the Stone Age
Hawthorne Heights
Underoath
Mansun
I don't have full albums by the following but a few songs on my mp3 player:
The Von Bondies
Fall Out Boy
Senses Fail
Killswitch Engage
Everytime I Die
Dir En Grey
The Used
From First to Last
Tool
A few years ago, I would be interested bands like Bloc Party, the Strokes and Arctic Monkeys. I no longer listen to them (sold my Strokes albums ages ago). I find myself becoming a metalhead+emo! lol Though I still listen to Razorlight. Love the Smashing Pumpkins and Bjork. But I mainly listened to them in the '90s. |

I don't have an MP3 player!
Why should I, after being a Mobile DJ for over 18 years (1988-2006) I collected and still have well over 1,000 CD's from every known artist and a professional quality DJ system that is now a permanent fixture in our game room at home since I retired from active "partying". Geez, think about it, at an average price of about $12.00 per CD that equals about $12,000 worth of music!!! Luckily I paid for it all through the gigs (and Tax write-offs).
As for what I listen to....my personal choice is Heavy Metal! I'm a Head Banger since day one...Savatage, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio, Metallica, Motorhead (love Lemmy!), Rush, Guns & Roses (Axel was an idiot), Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Black Label Society with Zach Wilde, Pantera, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Rage Against the Machine, AC/DC, and on and on.
If it has bar chords and a beat that can knock a hole in the wall, I'm listening to it! It's the kind of music that a Testosterone crazed, race car driving, Harley riding, bodybuilder/martial artist can get psyched up to.

Lemmy is one of my heroes!
Just been listening to "Ace of Spades". |

majorb, Lemmy is one of my heroes. Just picked up the book written by him and started reading it. One of the "pins" on my biker jacket is the Motorhead symbol (skull with horns and a chain, I'm sure you know the one). A buddy of mine has the same symbol tattoed on his shoulder. I'm thinking about getting the Ace of Spades tatted on somewhere for my next one. I've seen Motorhead in concert here in Phoenix every time they stop by. He just gets better and better, and his views on life are priceless. He certainly ISN'T "politically correct" when he speaks that's for sure! Tell it like it is Lemmy!
Did you know Motorhead held the Guiness Book of World Records for the loudest rock band of all time all through the 80s and 90s. A microphone located 8 miles away from a concert in England in the early 80s was able to pick up the song they were playing! Fantastic!!

Try Sennheiser MX500 (that specific model, not any of the others). This model is reviewed by many pros to be the best Sennheiser earphone, and better than their more expensive counterparts. I had a pair before and they were very good indeed. You should be able to pick them up for around $15, though they can be hard to find (or at least I had to search for them a bit in Australia). HTH |

Beru, another quick trivia point for you. I see you like Trans Siberian Orchestra....me too. That orchestra is really the members of the Heavy Metal band "Savatage" (my all time favorite). Many of the TSO songs can be originally found on the obscure Savatage album called "Dead Winter Dead".

I can't even begin to remember what I have on there. I have an IRiver which I'm a loyal customer too as I've moved up their MP3players from the 250, to 520 and then onto their 20KB.
I have anything from jazz,swing,blues,house,rap,hip hop,top 20, pop and the list goes on.
Some artists would be: Michael Buble, Sarah McLachlin, Eva Cassidy, Nas, Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, Ella FItzgeral, Stevie Wonder, Stone Temple Pilots, Coldplay, Matchbox 20...etc |
