What do you listen to in your car?

Radio Cd Phone or mp3 player Other, specify in the thread

I just got my first car yesterday and I've got a copy of Now 51 in there.

I'm going to be listening to backstreet boys and s club 7. Lol.

Favourite radio station is radio two for when I get bored of this CD.

Radio? CD? Use your phone? Will be interesting to see the split...

I just listen to the radio, mostly Capital FM or Heart as I live in London.

When I bought my car, the previous owner had left their Tom Tom in the glove box, so I got free satnav, result lol! :biggrin:

If I could afford a car, then I'd listen to Twitch streams ;_;

Generally Radio 1 as background noise if it's a short journey but if I'm going between home and university I switch between Radio 1 (they have fun games!) and a mix CD I burnt which currently features Whirlwind Heat, Sara Bareilles, The Fray, Coldplay amongst others...

Usually to the sound of tyre noise from my Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8.

Don't usually turn on any music in the car as I like driving to the sound of silence :biggrin:

Agree with silence - there's nothing any good in our area and our car doesn't have an AUX IN.

If it had an aux in then I would use TuneIn Radio to stream any radio station I want :smile:

Providing there is a 3G signal, obviously. :tongue:

I'd probably listen to anything on the radio and it's mostly pop :tongue:

Just stuff from my phone. Got one of those Bluetooth touch screen panels. Got playlists for DnB, Dance, House, Hip Hop, and other such music. I just play whatever I'm feeling that day. I couldn't drive without my tunes

I don't atm; will use some wizardry to get them soon!

Funny that a mate of mine has all the Nows on his CD collections! When he played the songs whilst driving with me, we were basically singing pop songs of the 90s! :colondollar:

Had some sum 41 and backstreet boys.

Think I may listen to the local radio though for traffic alerts. Hmmm, choices...

I also listened to some breakfast shows or one of those daily pranks shows; the later was a good way to cheer me up during the day :smile:

Using tuneIn is a sure way to exhaust your data quota if you are in the car a lot :smile:

Personally prefer BT or USB over Aux In.

My car has USB. Just need to take a spare cable in with me. But my phone music is boring as I listen to it all the time.

What's BT?

Is there any difference between BT and Aux then? Other than wired v wireless?

One of the biggest difference with BT is you could control the tracks from your steering wheel controls or from the head unit, where AUX In you won't be able to.

In terms of sound quality, I find with BT the sound is crisper and no interference which you do get with some Aux cables.
