Listen to music while detailing?

[veedub Mike]

What's "on the air" inside your garage during a multi-hour makeover?

Your favorite radio station to provide you with hourly updates on the weather situation just in case you want to go for a ride after buffing?
Guns 'n' Roses cause it perfectly suits the whine of your Makita?
Or W.A.Mozart while applying the finishing touch?
Nothing at all, because the sound of your DA is plenty enough of music to your ears?

I usually have my CD player with some pretty mixed up MP3's on random play.
Let me know what you are listening to.

I listen to the local radio channel on my computer which plays the last 40 years of music or if its a crappy day I have over 400 hours of music on my HDD that I play with media player. If i'm at a customers place I listen to the local radio station on my mobile phone.

looks like I am the only one who does not listen to music, while detailing. I do not have a garage so that makes it a little tougher. the only thing I hear are the sounds of a rotary, PC and my vac. suppose I am old school LOL !

I usually listen to cd's my kids mixed for me or a local classic 70's rock station on the radio.

If I'm in my shop, I listen to XM Sat Radio. If not in the shop (sometimes even while in the shop) I've got the IPOD up and running.

I listen to Rush. That's enough to make one aggressively attack a car.

Absolutely! For those long buffing sessions, a little up-beat music is just the ticket.

I either listen to a new rock/alternative station or a mixed cd while detailing. Makes it that much more fun!

I turned an old computer into an MP3 server and when we moved a few months ago I set it up in the garage. My office at home is directly above the garage so it works out great with our wireless network since the router is in my office.

So, I've got 500+ CDs ripped to MP3 files and have a few different playlists set up in iTunes and I'm running a pair of JBL computer speakers that sound good enough for background music. So my choice in music is pretty endless while working in the garage or driveway but I lean towards more alternative rock type stuff.
