I almost always listen to music when I'm driving and, it's iPod>CDs>>>FM Radio.
|
|
iPod
Radio CD's (only because theyre probably already on my iPod anyway) |
|
'Tune In' on my phone via bluetooth.
Unless it's between noon and 3pm, when I listen to 'In Your Face with Drew Garabo" on the local FM station. |
|
Sirius/XM-outlaw country
Flashdrive w/my favorite shit plugged into my radio |
|
Starting a month ago its XM 87 fantasy sports till football season is over. After that its Lithium or Octane till the next football season.
|
|
I had to vote pie. I only listen to the sound of the tires, engine and traffic (when there is some).
|
|
Mostly AM talk radio or the radio is just off. I spend very little time in my car.
|
|
Still need to install the AUX port for my truck, so I'm stuck with a binder full of CD's
|
|
AM talk radio from a high watt station when driving through the mountains at night
|
|
|
FM.
When nothing tolerable is on the air - meaning I have gone through every tunable station - I push in an Archaic Tape Media and listen to what I have stored on it. |
|
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. |
|
MP3 on USB drive plugged into my receiver.
ETA: Haven't used a music CD in years.
|
|
Sansa 20gb mp3 player on shuffle. The only time I listen to terrestrial radio is if I'm on the road and listening to a football game. Terrestrial radio blows |
|
SiriusXM
Most of the places I drive there's no cell coverage and you're lucky to to get a radio station, Sirius is a godsend. |
|
I use my phone and use several different different apps to listen to talk shows or music.
|
|
My daily driver is short on options I have four programable buttons and less stations that I care to listen to than that. That being said it is FM radio or just the sound of the wind coming in the windows.

|
AM talk and news. Short commute so not in any vehicle for long.
FM or MP3 for long trips. Got 2 XM setups that have never been used, still sitting in the original boxes. |
|
In order of priority:
1. Limbaugh on local AM 2. Right Wing talk on XM 3. Classic rock on XM 4. Classic rock on local FM Both my personal and work vehicles both have XM/Sirius |
|
I voted smartphone because my iPhone 5 acts as an iPod for my stored music, as well as an internet music service streaming device.
It's also handy because Maps acts as a voice GPS through my truck's speaker system. Been hearing a lot of Daft Punk and Phantogram lately. |
|
Pandora/Iheartradio on phone first
MP3's/audio books on phone second CDs FM radio(talk radio in the mornings, music if all above is not available) |
|
Quoted:
"No static at all..." View Quote 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. |

There's a lot of love for AM in here. I didn't realize Arfcom had so many 87+ year old members.

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. |
