Jukeboxes excluded! Right now, in mine: **The Breakthrough** Mary J. Blige -playing- **Back To Black** Amy Winehouse (just bought this Wednesday) **The Ultimate Collection** Gladys Knight + The Pips **Toni Braxton** Toni Braxton **Sign 'O The Times** Prince I’m obviously into R & B. Also alternative and classic and new rock, but the current contents of my CD player isn’t reflecting that. ---

Keepin’ it real here too! George Strait, Rodney Crowell, Billy Joe Royal, Johnny Cash, and very early Elvis. These have been in the player for a couple of months. I’m too lazy to put them away. Plus, they’re pretty good. ---

At home: Don’t have a CD player. Just the DVD player, which also plays CDs and SACDs. It has got WKRP (Disk 1) in it. Car: CD with every last Steely Dan/Donald Fagen album burned on it. In MP3 format, of course – I have long since ripped all my CD’s to my computer. Haven’t played it in a while, though, since I got my 30GB Zune, which I plug into the car player’s AUX port. Damn I love that random feature. ---

_Pieces In A Modern Style_, by the brilliant William Orbit. I like to warble along to his version of John Cage’s “In A Landscape”. Oh and PS, **fishbicycle** , I heart Gowan - “Moonlight Desires” is my definitive “Guilty pleasure” song. OK, that and pre-JLP Alanis’ “No Apologies”. I still know all the words. Which I learned when I was eleven. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-in-your-cd-player/414320.md?page=2)
