Police radio traffic from the local sheriff's department and/or the city I'm in at the moment. I listen to this more than I listen to music. While driving, that is. I like to be well informed of the local situation. It helps me to avoid trouble spots and traffic jams and your inevitable cop lying in wait, hoping to hand out a shitpile of tickets today.

FLAC files converted to 320kbps MP3's on a flash drive. If I had my way my head unit would just read FLAC and I wouldn't even bother converting. I'm into pretty high end car audio and it amazes me that we took a step back in music quality when we went from CD's to digital music and we're STILL recovering from it today. Then we have bluetooth as a connection method, well we're at BT 4.0 and it still wrecks the quality of a song transmitting it so we're still stuck with wires still. What's even more frustrating is the amount of effort and money put into the studio recordings by all the bands/artists during this digital age. I'm not kidding you when I say that some of the great bands of the past like Pink Floyd, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac have WAYYYY better studio recording quality then of bands from the 90's and 2000's. It very sad when Pink Floyds "young love" and the Eagles "Hotel California" are still some of the best recorded songs even in 2013. You have to get into house/electronic/hip hop/dub step to get a good studio recording these days and mainly cause it's all digitally produced. IMO music is in a sad state right now if you're into anything other than hip hop/electronic/dub step. I still buy CDs, and that's one of the main reasons. I'll admit though, when I listen to them while driving, it's mostly because swapping a disc is easier and safer than finding another album on my iPod. |

I'm not too fond of anything they recorded after 1977. Even then, I have a strong preference for Pretzel Logic and Can't Buy a Thrill. Some bands get better with time as they learn. Unfortunately, I don't think Steely Dan is one of them. Good reference, though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

No option for vinyl records? I am disappoint.
I do listen to vinyl records in the truck Vinyl recorded to PC > converted to MP3 > loaded on flash drive. 
I typically listed to satellite radio. Flash drive loaded with MP3s as a second choice. |

I plug a USB stick full of MP3's into my radio, or an iPod. I'll begrudingly put on the radio, if I manage forget either the iPod or usb stick.

I listen to my loud ass truck. I really need to put an exhaust on it. My radio is am only and recently stopped working and I can't be assed to fix it because it only gets 4 stations. Sports talk, old country, new country and another talk station (the one with Hannity/Beck).
Quoted:
There's a lot of love for AM in here. I didn't realize Arfcom had so many 87+ year old members. I'm not 87+ so that's probably why I don't bother trying to fix it. I also don't really feel like putting in a new one. I work <10 minutes from home so I just don't care enough. |

Sometimes AM radio. If there is nothing worth listening to on the radio, the radio isn't getting reception from any stations anymore, or I just want to listen to songs that are probably not going to get played on the radio, I listen to cassette tapes. |

For the longest time, I'd be listening to the radio. But lately, I just haven't been turning it on. Seems like the last 6 months or so, I'm more content to simply drive in silence.

CD's and FM radio, unfortunately. Even worse is that the factory deck in my car wont read CD's with music burned as MP3 data discs that will fit a ton of music.
I have to burn them as audio CD's so Im limited to 17-20 songs per CD. I need a new deck that has an AUX for my phones 800 songs. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

During the last five years and well over 100,000 miles the radio has been turned off most of the time. I'm an old fart and no longer appreciate noise in my life.
