In these days of MP3/iPods it's easy to do music compilations to accompany your driving experience......but what do you choose

So lists please of top 10 driving tracks, yes only 10, it's a short journey - you can loop/random them. You can split into day or night tracks only cause I like to listen to different tracks depending on the time of day. And if you'd like to throw n a particular road that matches the track please feel free

As I've only had my RRS a week I'm still deliberating...........Q

I leave mine on shuffle, then play 'name that tune' for the opening 5 secs or so of each track, and if it gets the tumb's down then I skip to the next one. Having the whole family use the same iTunes is a bit like Russian Roulette as from time to time 'Incy Wincy Spider' & Co crop up, or even worse Will Young!

I have extended this to the house and installed a Sonos system. That way I can control and listen to music stored on the Mac, the ipod, in any room in the house and in the car.  If you see a bandwagon - it's too late.....

I have gone the other way and must be having a mid life crisis since I seem to be listening to N Dubz & tincy Stryder........must be a turning 40 thing and normal service will resume at some point.

I have also been loving popstar to operastar so I might have a look at some opera but dont have a clue where to start, any ideas for something not too heavy to get started with.

How do you find the wireless range around the house ?

Thanks for that Kaine

Online streaming wouldn't be too much of a worry, as my broadband connection wouldn't be good enough to rely on internet sources alone. I'm more interested in my iTunes on the iMac being available in various locations throughout the house.

I'd dealing with an old house, with stone walls 3ft thick in some places, how would you see the Sonos handling that ! ?

Edited to add....

I've just relaised that I've hijacked this thread & am taking it off topic to my own gain, so apologies

I don't really have one TBH. I tend to listen to the radio, or drive in silence.

I find that if I do play my iPod or Cd's in the car, after a couple of songs I just get annoyed & distracted for some reason & switch back to the radio.

Too many to mention but the latest purchases are Cream Trance Anthems and Hed Kandi compilations. WINNER - 2009 Best Newcomer Award
