I have everything from Nirvana to Louis Armstrong. Probably the most "Get your body moving" tunes are all the tracks from The Saints who came out with an album fairly recently called "Nothing Is Straight In My House."

Yes, this is the same Australian Punk Band from the 70's. Their latest album is without a doubt one of the most underrated albums of late. Any punk rock fans should definitely check it out!

And oh yeah, I use my Palm Treo as my MP3 player... I was doing battle with my old cell phone provider at the same time my old traditional Palm died. As I was shopping around for an iPod at the time, I combined all three needs into the 1 Treo.

I'll follow you right down the "off-topic" trail, Rox. Tunes are stored on mini-disks, and you can get mini-disks I believe up to 3 gigs, which I believe will get you about 300 tunes. Of course, you can also carry several disks with you if you really wanted to.

Just heard of that mini-disks thing and it really store a lot, must be costly?

They're quite reasonable, especially if you shop around a bit. Right now, BestBuy has a 1 gig minidisk for $7.99, I believe. These are the types of items that go on sale, and generally have rebates if you're willing to shop around. I've found the site Buy.com has had great sales for accessories such as these.

My mp3 is full of alternative rock. My favourite tune at the moment is a rose for the dead by funeral for a friend. I recomend it to anyone but the best track to board to is MIA by foo fighters. Picture the scene, last run of the day, sun setting behind the mountains and you are strapping into your bindings, MIA goes with that setting very well. When listenin to that song i often ride my hardest.

Anyone agree?

i have everything on mine...it really depends on what kind of mood i am in to what kind of music i will listen to...mostly it's techno or alt. rock
