Yeah - the Twit network is where I spend most of my time. If I was having to fill voids like 3.5 hours, I'd probably do books on tape/digital media player
I've tried Audible and other books-on-tape stuff. For some reason I can't do it. Much prefer to have a book in front of me that I can read.
I definitely tend to remember the content better when I read with my eyes instead of my ears. So I wouldn't to do learning with books on tape - but casual reading - I don't mind.

Though @Dashrender has me hooked on listening to podcasts in the car, though.
You're welcome

Edit: I didn't know it would expand the links into YouTube embeds, sorry for lagging anyone out there.

Anyone else listen to music while they're working?
Definitely.
Does your music choice change depending what you're doing/morning to afternoon?
Well, I'm not a psycho.
My last boss refused to let us have any music in the office as she said it was distracting...the awkward silence was more distracting to me, and I find it easier to concentrate and work more efficiently when I have music personally...and gladly at this job they don't mind!
Your boss is a psycho.
When I'm doing cabling, I prefer old school hip-hop/rap
I also like old school hiphop, and a lot of 90s stuff, such as: Redman, Saigon, Slick Rick, Nas, AZ, 2pac, Big L, and tons of more sadly dead people.
I also listen to a lot of trance and house music as well, mostly just essential mix, I have damn near every episode that's ever been broadcast. Plus also stuff from Sasha and John Digweed, and Underworld.
I also listen to a lot of trip hop, stuff like: Massive Attack, Dreadzone, Morcheeba, Sneaker Pimps, Hooverphonic, as well as chill wave, which isn't really that much different.
I also listen to a lot of non-English hip hop: Ladose, KASTA (Polish rap group), ะะฐััะฐ (Different group of the same name), ะะตัะพัะฝัะต ะปัะดะธ, ะะะฆะ, L'One, ะะฐััะตะปั, and tons more.
As well as Arabic pop music, primarily from Lebanon (as I'm familiar with Levantine Arabic), such as Nancy Ajram, which is playing right now.
And tons of 90s music in general (Luscious Jackson, Death in Vegas, Oasis, Queens of the Stone Age, Toad the Wet Sprocket, etc), the 90s was my hayday. I still use winamp on Windows, because every other media player pisses me off to no end. They're either cumbersome or massive, or have some DRM garbage built in.

One of the local college stations here is amazing.... the most truly diverse format I've ever heard.
...and when I just need the sonic density and ridiculous tempo of drum and bass, I listen to http://www.bassdrive.com/

I remember one of the very first episodes of Judge Judy years ago, or at least one of the first I saw, I'm not sure how long she's been on.. anyway, the plaintiff claimed that the defendant was listening to "Satanic metal music" with her daughter in the car, the band's name? "Cake." Never have found a recording of it, but god it was hilarious. She was going the distance to lie her ass off.
