Whats on your MP3 Player?

The wind drowns out more car noise than the ear bud in my experience. I dont wear them if I am traveling in a well traffiked area, but in my neighborhood and the ones around it, I MIGHT have a car pass me 4 times max while I am out riding during the day - and they are going 30 mph.

Trust me - Im the most paranoid person in the world - If there is ANY chance that wearing the one bud would be dangerous, I dont do it.

I DO wear my MP3 player with both buds or use speakers if I am on the trainer.

I just wondered what other people listen to - not where they listen to it

Another good "Hammer Down" song - even if ya don't care for country much

Dwight Yoakums "Fast as You"

Makes ya wanna STAND on the pedals and run at about 120 rpm on the cadence!

When I bother to take it with me I keep it low enought to hear any traffic coming up behind me.
At the moment I'm listening toa bit of
'chilled Ibiza'
'Tom Petty'
'Nina Simone'
and
'Tim McGraw'

I've been looking into headphone alternatives for biking, like speakers on the handlebars, or there's a backpack with speakers in the shoulder straps, or speakers in a helmet...another thing I may try is a cheap pair of behind the head earphones, just hooked around my neck, and not on my ears. Though I suspect the wind may drown that out.

As far as what I have on my iPod, I've got nearly 2500 songs, so too much to name. However, I do have an account at iTunesregistry.com that has my entire library listed on it here.

I've just upgraded my mp3 player from 128mb to a lovely new 20gb. I have over two thousand tracks on it, so too much to mention.

I have an Ipod shuffle, and mostly what I listen to is Podcasts! There are a ton of them about biking, and triathlon, and endurance sports, and anything else you can think of, in lengths ranging from 10 minutes to an hour. Sometimes on a really long ride I will get through all the Podcasts and then I have a bunch of music on there, too. To get them, you just go to ITunes, to the Podcast section, and do a search or browse. They're free. Then, if you like one, you subscribe to it, and it gets automatically updated- new shows are downloaded as they become available.

I ride with only the left earbud, and only on trails.
