I always listen to a playlist on my iPod connected to speakers. Anything from soundtracks from Broadway shows or movies to oldies from the 50's or 60's. Also Folk music from the 60's. Then there are my favorites Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John and Phil Collins.

I listen to audio books. I get them at the library for free. You can also go on the library site and order the books you want and they will get them from other library's in the area.
It is great.

I like to put on a playlist while I quilt. Generally, the music genre matches whatever type of quilt I'm making. Right now, I'm working on some old fashioned, traditional quilts, so my music choice is bluegrass and old timey music. (The Tillers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Iris Dement, John Prine, etc.) When I move on to more contemporary quilt styles, I'll put on some Coltrane, or Brubeck, a 1930's style quilt, Billy Holiday, the Duke. What do you like to listen to?

I have a wide range of music in my collection. Anything from the top 10+ since the 60's, some country, some classical, really good groups that don't sit on the prime time play list...Mraz, Dave Matthews, etc., to relatively unknowns...Annie Haslam, Mike and Suzie Quatro, David Blue, etc

We always have the radio on at the shop. Kevin likes country, which is okay for a while until they start playing the same sets over and over....so....when he leaves for an errand, I quick switch it over to the classic rock 70s/80s station. Nothing like a little Boston or Bruce Springsteen to get me humming and grooving while quilting

Not very often, but when I do it's usually KLove...which is Christian music. Or sometimes I will put on a CD of Motown. Mostly I like peace & quiet, and when it's warm enough to have the windows open I love listening to the birds, the neighborhood sounds of kids playing & lawn mowers.
