What do you listen to most often in the car?
If I forget any major categories, I'll fix it!

When I say "my own", I mean, you know, I brought them with me, not "music or talk shows that I personally created."

Podcasts if I'm in the car alone. Music on my phone if I'm not. I voted for podcasts because I'm in the car alone more than I'm in the car with other people.

Podcasts for long distances. Radio for a few minutes sometimes for short.

Absolute silence. Or as much as there is inside a moving car

Re: What do you listen to most often in the car?
When I drove, I routinely listened to music almost exclusively. I never owned any cassettes, and CD and MP3 playing in cars would be model years in the future of any cars i drove.
When I lived in Southern California, there were primarily two choices for contemporary/MOR rock music. KHJ-AM 930 out of Los Angeles (1960s, 1970s) And during the 1980s, XETRA "The Mighty 690" a Border Blaster out of Tijuana directed at Southern California operating exclusively in English, except for station identification ("Eckees ay tah ray ah, Teewanna, Mehico",)

There's an option for this, but it has no votes. What's the deal, Vark?

I have a USB disk with music. But I also listen to music I have made myself. I think just about everyone here with any sort of creativity has made music at one point. I count at least six others who have posted recently. Ya listen to the stuff you made, fellas??

There is not an option for "I don't listen to anything while in my car".

That's what the second-to-last option was for ("https://bit.ly/3nGtG58").
I was hoping people would understand that. It's okay, I got your vote.

That was a Battlestar Galactica reference link, And I was being too TDarcos-ish when I didn't click that option because there are days when I am in the car and it doesn't rain.

When you say "USB disk" I presume you mean a USB drive, like a thumb drive. Or you could actually mean a USB powered portable hard disk, in which case it would be a USB disk, although i think that might be overkill. At an average of, say, 10M per song for MP3 files, a 16GB jump drive can hold 1,600 songs. A 4Tb drive could hold 400,000.
If someone says "USB disk" I get the image of a USB-powered CD or DVD drive.
|I have lots of creativity, but I've directed it to (1) Programming (2) Tech support; (3) Creating videos and (4) Writing stories. I never learned to write or play music. Except maybe Chopsticks. But I couldn't write the musical notation for it to save my life.Ice Cream Jonsey wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 11:21 am But I also listen to music I have made myself.

Re: What do you listen to most often in the car?
My car had exactly ONE option package. It was never sold without this as far as I can tell. You got a sun-roof and a six-disc CD changer mounted in the trunk. In 2002 I put some Techno back there and in the intervening time, CDs have ceased to exist and I have nothing to replace them with anymore.
It also has perhaps one of the earlier 1/8" aux jacks so I can just toss whatever in from the passenger seat but that's not as dramatic.
FWIW 6 CDs is just enough music to drive across NY state, depending on how fast you go.
