I like AM conservative talk. When I was a young man I loved FM music, but there are to many important issues these days. I have to be informed.

Most often FM as I have the radio on for company when I am working on something. More for the noise than the content.

It's like having my own radio station, plays only the music I like, and if I don't want to hear a song ---- skip

For me none of the above.

I listen to Pandora online.

I have the Mancini channel, Marty Robbins channel, Shadowfax channel, and an Alan Parson's Project channel. I also have a Mozart, an ELP,and a few others.

Whatever I'm in the Mood for.

ditto oppie. Almost all AM conservative talk radio. Some FM jazz. When I was younger it was all music fare for me, but it just isn't in my blood anymore. I dunno why. Around Thanksgiving a local FM station starts playing nonstop Christmas music and I listen to that almost exclusively; and I miss it on Dec. 26th when they stop.

XM here. A leftover from my days driving a truck. Most of the time, the old radio shows I grew up with.

Igloo, sounds like an impressive collection. Most of my music in now on the ipod, (I’m a huge 80’s fan) but in the car it’s either XM or local AM Conservative talk.

I like all music from Karen Carpenter to Nine Inch Nails .The wife and I like to go to the symphoney powerful and moving even for a non Classical listener . A friend gave me a box of old albums , so I hauled a large tower speaker and qd up the Sound of Music full bore into my sleeping daughters room . The sceen that followed was priceless .

I recently started listening to the local Classical station from 8-11PM as they call it "Adagio" and it is some very calming, soft music that's perfect to smoke a bowl to.

Igloo has it about right for me in terms of taste. I don't like other people picking music or deciding what counts as useful information so I tend to avoid radio altogether. Ipod and Rhapsody.

A lot of different streaming stations: from "alchemist's lounge" (ambient downtempo) to birdsong radio (for the cats!) to danish electro-folk to french rural zithern musique to north african chant to russian teeny-pop to japanese koto & shakuhachi to great arias (gotten into opera lately) to classic country (when i get the workin' man blues) to bollywood to podcasts to...all over the board, basically.

You know.....To me there is so much NOISE in this world that most of the time I prefer the quiet of no media.... :?

I haven't had the "radio" on in either my truck or car in months.
I'm also a big Pandora fan. My puter has a great sound 'system".

Personal stations on Pandora number about 17, everything from Choral Baroque to Rockabilly, artists from Edith Piaf to Carlos Santana.

I use my Zuney. Either if's FM tuner, or I let it decide what I should listen to (based upon a song I choose) at which point it creates a playlist off of my Zune's memory or streams new stuff if it can.
