    I do! I have a 6 gig ipod mini that never leaves my desk at work. Sometimes I spend more time clicking through songs than coding! ;P I mainly listen to a recent rock bands (Breaking Benjamin, Cold, 32 Leaves, Trapt), but I also listen to some Christian rock (Kutless, 12 Stones etc)...they have similar sounds to the bands I mentioned above.

            I've had a "Best of Mozart" CD in my car for weeks now. Some great driving music.

              sadly I do not. :sigh: I can't stand stuff put in my ears and my colleagues probably don't want me to listen to my music all day long :->

                  Red is very good! Do they only have the one album (End of silence)? I don't think it's that old but I can't wait till their next release!

                    There is some great Christian music out there. Check out air1.com. I'm a business partner with them so I get a high-end streaming access account. Love IT!!!

                      If you like Christian pop, there's a local (upstate SC) station that plays some pretty good music and streams their broadcast here[^]. Not usually my genre, but the few times I've dialed in I thought they played good stuff.

                              wow, an easier question would be what I don't like... ;). I like music ranging from Jazz, blues, Rock'n Roll, Soul, Rock, Hard Rock, (most kinds of) metal and sometimes stuff like the prodigy and praga Khan, even an occasional hip hop (Cypress Hill and the likes). I also like 60/70 music (stuff like in the TV show Tour of Duty)... just for starters ;-) What I don't like: modern pop/disco music, brit pop, that kind of stuff. And I don't like to listen to the radio (to much talk) Even my wife complains that I listen too much music :cool:

                                Studying, eh :) Kind of has been draining all the free time I used to have, these days a normal day is filled with lectures and tutorials from 9:00 to 17:00 - not that I'm complaining, working people have even longer hours :) Aside from that I kind of got out of the habit of Lounging I guess ;P, but even so, I think time is the main factor.

                                  Ah, I see, your taste seems a little more varied than mine. People around here also tend to disagree with my tastes, in particular when the metal gets pulled off the shelf. Similarly to you I like most types of metal, but my favourite is black metal (one gets a little lost in all the definitions sometimes...).

                                      Haha, yes, but it's all relative - let's just say I'm very good at distinguishing words ;)

                                        Studying, eh :) Kind of has been draining all the free time I used to have, these days a normal day is filled with lectures and tutorials from 9:00 to 17:00 - not that I'm complaining, working people have even longer hours :) Aside from that I kind of got out of the habit of Lounging I guess ;P, but even so, I think time is the main factor.

                                          I'm willing to bet that whatever email address you have for me will still work, but just in case paulvdw at gmail should do the trick. :)
