Music

I use my ipod a lot and I listen to gatsby's american dream, from first
to last, or saosin most of the time when I'm riding.

I'd be too scared I would fall on whatever music player I would use.

I want to try it though.

Until they make an iPod from the material used for the Black Box in an
airplane, I don't really see it happening for me.

But maybe we can teach the members of Jethro Tull to ride MUni and play
simultaneously. I'll bet Ian Anderson could ride some serious Muni while
singing Aqualung.

distance riding I often use my iPod. but NEVER trials or MUni. I hurt
myself badly, and I'm fine with that, but I really would rather not
smash my iPod.

I still use my old Sony discman for distance riding...never for Muni..
Usually some metal stuff...with high tempo...Though the best time was
when I did a midnight ride...While the whole world( basically my
neighbourhood) slept a lone unicyclist patrolled the streets to the
tunes or Nirvana....

When riding solo, I do much better with music. I can work to a rhythm.

why not make the entire plane out of the black box material? lol

yeah i listen to my Mp3 player when riding, much smaller then an ipod
and it still holds 200 songs so its all good.

i like riding to sweatshop union or something harder like the shizit.

There are plenty of Ipod protective cases out there such as this one
'LiliPod' (http://www.lilipods.com/lilipods.html) which is a bit much
for me I think I'll be buying 'Isee'
(http://www.contourdesign.com/isee/isee_mini.html) case so that I can
still control the ipod while it's in the case. lol.😎

I don't think so. I am subscribed to Creative's newletter. The Muvo
V200 was announced just yesterday for early May, still with 512 MB.

Correction: When I clicked the link for more info, it appeared that
there are 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB versions. Only the 512 MB was
mentioned in the newsletter.

I've only ridden once with my Ipod. It was great. I just went out on my
own one night on my Muni along some tracks.
You can get a good speed up just riding in time with the music.

I was listening to Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Mighty Mighty
Bosstones, The Killers, Simple Plan, Hoobastank and Blink 182 to name a
few.

Going to ride more with music, but its rather anti-social when ur riding
with other people.

Joe,

Just be smart about where and when you listen to tunes as you ride.
It's not a good idea to be listening to headphones while riding amongst
traffic or along a bike path. You need to be able to hear what's around
you for your safety and the safety of others. Same thing when muniing.
If there is a MTB behind you trying to pass it is important for your
safety and the safety of the mountain biker that you be able to hear him
as he passes so you don't collide.

My pet peeve is joggers listening to headphones as they run along a bike
path. "On your left... On your left... ON YOUR LEFT! Good God get out
of the middle of the path." It does no good to shout out warnings when
the idiot can't hear you. Fortunately my Coker comes equipped with a
battering ram just in case one of those tuned out joggers decides to
veer into my path as I pass.

And what's the deal with iPods? The iPod cannot play gapless, meaning
that it will have a bit of silence between tracks even if those tracks
are supposed to run together with no gap. How can you enjoy albums like
Dark Side Of The Moon, The Wall, live concert albums, and classical
music albums when there are gaps between tracks that are supposed to
flow smoothly from one to the other? Why are people paying several
hundred dollars for a music player that cannot play Pink Floyd the way
God intended the album to be played? Some people consider the iPod to
be a status symbol. I consider it to be a symbol for idiots who don't
appreciate Pink Floyd, live concert albums, and classical music.

Or Robin Trower. It's a bummer when the "cold wind blowing" transition
between Bridge of Sighs and In This Place all of a sudden goes silent.
The only bigger bummer is when some "alternative" radio station decides
to play Bridge of Sighs, then doesn't let it ride and keep going into
the second song.

I feel out of the loop to be only 16 years old, where all I know of is
music on computers, it sounds pretty sweet with the gapless playback and
all.... I wanna try it....
