Our iPod has anything from Paul Simon to KISS to Belinda Carlisle to Avril. Pretty much anything except Country or Rap, nether me nor my wife like either one.

I mostly listen to classic rock or any music with good balanced sound; classical, new pop, a lot of female vocal.

I added the Honda Bass Speaker System because the stock rear speakers sounded really wimpy. Even the new rear speakers sound wimpy so I replaced them with Infinity 2 way speakers. I kick up the rear amp to almost full and the EQ contour somewhere around half way. This EQ, which they call a High pass filter, is more like a mid frequency boost/cut because no matter what setting I use the high frequencies are always clear. Maybe it has something to do with the Infinity speakers. The system doesn't rattle the doors and trunk (I wouldn't want that anyway) but it's very clear and punchy at any volume with any music.

I usually listen to talk and news radio. But when I'm in the mood I play MP3 CDs burned at 192kbps.

Today's listening:
Lacuna Coil, Cream, Imogen Heap, Journey (the older band without Steve Perry), Triumvirat, Nightwish
