Music for my ears, pls!

Have survived first week of uni! It's gone well so far, am mostly scared now by the thought of writing an essay for the first time in Manymany years. It'll be fine tho. FINE.

The main problem this week has actually been the distance - the uni is 60 miles away and driving up/staring at screens/driving back is leaving me knackered - possibly due to being out of practice at concentrating that much, so I'm sure it'll get better. Going to try the train next week and see how that goes (less concentrating but earlier start and later back...).

Either way what I really need is Music. An hour and half in the car or a couple of hours on the train is a loooong trip to be stuck with crappy radio and the same cds I've had for years. I may even finally invest in an mp3 player!

So, suggestions please ! Music for drivng. music for train, music for studying to... what works for you? Ooh or podcasts! Give me SOUNDS!

ETA on a similar note, what's a good music player wossname these days? Does it have to be ipod?

80s is totally fine - I have Absolute 80s on in the house quite a lot, since I discovered I can get it thro the telly ;p Tho it might get distracting for study as it can lead to leppin' round the living room like an eejit!

Music for study would be excellent, complete silence can be as distracting as the radio or telly.
