What's in your music player?

Opsimath · Mar 24, 2021

Be it CD, cassette, LP or whatever, what have you been listening to of late?

My CD player only holds 3. I load it and listen until I feel like changing 1 or more for something else.

This is what's in there now:

American Pie - Don McLean. The CD has 2 songs at the end which were not on the LP.

Greatest Hits 2 - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.

Whiskey & the Moonlight - Bootleg-N-Branded. I'll see if anyone knows who this is.

Huh! My new Panasonic boombox just arrived today, so naturally our new album:

79D25MMan · Mar 24, 2021

The "Golden Age" of Honky Tonk and 1930s-early 1960s country. A bunch of Ernest Tubb, Lefty Frizell, Hank Williams, Hank Thompson, Elton Britt, and many others. The "Columbia - Country and Classics Americana Volume 3" album is extremely good. It has a good variety of classic country, and has excellent guitar, lap steel, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin playing as well.

I very much enjoy watching live recordings on YouTube. Often the instrumentals are better than on record. I would recommend watching Ernest Tubb and the Texas Troubadours perform "Driving Nails in My Coffin" (1961 live recording.) Leon Rhodes is absolutely spectacular on the guitar, and the lap steel player is fantastic as well. Hope you enjoy!

My music folder on my PC:

That rotates in and out of several portable players and music servers.

That represents almost all purchased music - I don't do Torrents or streaming.

Love that and I'd Walk Across Texas to be able to play the licks Leon played.

I have a 256G iPhone and it has literally every MP3 I own. Perhaps not literally *everything*, but every album I own. My car has a 40GB drive in it and two SD slots each with 64GB drives in it but I can always listen to my phone via Bluetooth.

That ain't no lap steel--that's Buddy Emmons on Pedal Steel!

So with all that stuff stuffed in there how do you find what you want to hear? How do you know what stuff is stuffed in there? Do you ever forget you had some of the stuff you stuffed?

Soon to be on the turntable after arriving today will be the Steven Wilson remixes of XTC's "Skylarking", and Jethro Tull's "Benefit" (my favorite Tull), and "Aqualung" in 180 gram vinyl. Looking forward to tomorrow!

I am *crazy* about data storage, so everything is properly tagged. I generally only search by Artist. The two SD card drives are for my kids - they each get one to fill with "their" music that isn't in my collection.

Bach Organ Trio Sonatas performed by Christopher Herrick in my 2006 Camry CD player. Hopefully soon Bluetooth played in a Tacoma TRD Off Road.

Like GAD, it's "everything", but the last thing I listened to was Steely Dan's Aja album.

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen
WFUV compilation disk
Relix compilation disk

In Rotation in my old car with CD player and no bluetooth or input jack.

At home we listen to whatever strikes our fancy on youtube and we stream a couple of radio stations we like: WWOZ from Nola, WHEM from Long Island and WFUV from NYC.

SiriusXM "Watercolors Instrumental" all day at work.

It's really the only time I listen to music.

I still drive my 2002 Camry -- has the best CD player sound system I own. Probably one reason I still own the car!
