Default Favorite songs to play to

Does anyone else listen to music when they play? And if so, do you have a song or two which seem to you to embody the experience of playing hold 'em? For reasons I can't quite articulate there are a couple songs that do this for me.

'Plain Song' by The Cure
'Rain When I Die' by Alice in Chains
'Loud Love' by Soundgarden


Just wondering if anyone else has thoughts on this.

When I play Omaha 8 or better, I listen to Tool's cover of "No Quarter."

When I play holdem, I listen to The Swans' album "The Great Annihilator."

When I play stud, I listen to "The Best of The Carpenters."

I'm not a big stud fan.

Howdy!

I suggest a portal MP3 player that can handle .WMA's with smaller file size and sound just as good.

I have a 128 meg with a 512 meg addon card, holding 316 songs, which is more than enough for me.

Advantage with that is if the unit dies or gets broke by me, I am only out the unit price and 20% of the songs, plus I could get another card and swap it out if I wanted.

My unit uses ONE AA, big advantage... recharging the unit is more expensive and/or just a pain, rechargable hidden batteries DIE also and are generally not standard, and cost is $50+ if you can even find one.

I'd suggest looking at many models, but be sure it's expandable... many aren't at all!

Here's are decent ones 64meg and 128meg base RAM only, use only 1 AAA, but go up to 1 gig expanded and with FM tuner: $99/$130 direct.

I have had model S11 over 6 months, no problems and original ear buds are excellent, but no FM tuner, but I prefer my selections anyhow.

I suggest getting an ipod, dying your hair red, and trying to look like a cute asian chick. Also, try to pick up a lot of pots by raising the turn.
