What music do you have on your Pocket PC?


Speaking of audio, I was wondering what other people are listening to on their Pocket PC these days? The top three I have loaded are Final Straw by Snow patrol, Hard candy by the Counting Crows and OK Computer by Radiohead.
I'm interested in hearing other people's opinions on what is good enough to load on your own devices. Plus, based on my list above, you have any suggestions on what I might add to my library?

I tend to have a lot of mood music on my device, but i also probably betraying my roots as an old skook raver with some of my selection which include the following albums (luckly I have a 1gig SD card and 1gig CF card):
Chemical Bros - Exit planet dust
Chemical Bros - Surrender
The Chemical Bros - Come with us
Coldplay - Parachutes
Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head
David Gray - White ladder
Top loader - Onka's Big Moka
Olive - Virgin
Moby - Everything is wrong
Rage against the machine - Revolver
The Stereophonics - Just enough education to perform
The Stereophonics - You gotta go there to come back
The Prodigy - Music for the jilted generation
The Prodigy - Always out numbered never out gunned
Best of the rat pack (which I resently saw the tribute to on stage in London)
I have a 'main' play list which contains all the above I listen to this music while I'm travelling to work and while I'm at work (I have my own office, which is lucky ).

I must say that Rage against the machine is on a seperate playlist as most of the lyrics could be perceived as a tad offensive.
I've been listening to the above playlist for about three months now, I guess it's probably time to refresh it with a couple of revisions.

Somebody suggested that since I like Radiohead I should listen to The Wrenns. Anybody listen to them?
I'm going to look on my Real.com subscription today and see if I can find them and purchase an album or two.

Well, I have NO music on my PPC because that would be illegal. But IF I DID have some on there, it would be some Grateful Dead, the Soundtrack to Lost In Translation, and a little bit of Steve Kimock. Good stuff for the gym. I mean. . . if I was going to put music on there for listening at the gym. . .

Ok. I'll bite. Even in theory, why would it be illegal to have music on a PDA? I own all my music and my PDA.

Ohh I don't know. I was just kidding around. I am sure that if the big bad RIAA wanted to nail you, they could, and would. That's how they are treating their customers these days.

Ok. Just wondered. 8-) Since I own all my music and I use it for me, they can kiss my RIAA (insert your own definition). Nothing to touch here. I own over 300 CDs and have no need to download any music.

Currently, I have Joe Satriani's last album "is there love in space" and Metallica "St Anger". Two LPs I bought and ripped to my CF card.

So you are actually ripping LPs?!? That's pretty cool... what set up are you using to connect to your turntable to your computer?

I've got foobar2000 configured to cough up a new playlist every day that's i)an assortment of new music, ii)an assortment of my favourites and iii)an assortment of music that I haven't listened to in a while. The whole playlist is based on the playlist being 490 megs worth of music. Today's list includes the following:
American analog set
Archive
Beastie Boys
Death Cab for Cutie
Depeche Mode
Elliott Smith
Grandaddy
Interpol
Jimi Hendrix
John Digweed
Kent
Kid Koala
Led Zeppelin
Mojave 3
My Morning Jacket
Secret Machines
Strokes
Stars
Snow Patrol
Sun Kil Moon
Super Furry Animals
Flaming Lips
Wrens
U.N.K.L.E
Of course, tomorrow it will be completely different. joy.
Yep, that should get me through the day. BTW: I use BetaPlayer to listen to MP3s. So far I've found it's got the best sound quality. Has anyone found anything better?
