Flying Tunes in MP3

warren hurd · #1 01-15-2005, 11:53 PM

Where is the best place to find flying tunes? Songs about flying etc. I would like to download MP3 type of music so I can play some music while I build. Anybody have favorites? Right now my favorite is Pink Floyd's ?Learning To Fly?.

Thank You
Warren

Reap the Wild Wind - Ultravox
It's My Time to Fly - The Urge
Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz (the accoustic version is my favorite)
Learn to Fly - The Foo Fighters
Fly Like an Eagle - Seal or Steve Miller Band (I like Seal's version better)

These aren't particularly about flying but they are great flying songs:
Free Ride - Edgar Winters
Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones
When We Dance - Sting (you've never danced with your airplane?)
Uninvited - Alanis Morissette (I don't know! I just like the song okay??)

I have these along with a couple of albums from Newsong, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Fernando Ortega. All this on a 512 MB SD card in my iPAQ.

More details please. Where are you downloading them from? A paysite like Napster? Burning it off your home collection? iPAQ is like 300 bucks isn't it? I know DR had some way he was playing tunes with one. I must be getting old. I used to keep up on all the latest tech but frankly, I don't care anymore (usually.) By the way, love that Ultravox tune too. Ditto on Pink Floyd. And Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly" also. Lenny Kravitz' "Dig In" is great for building motivation too. Thanks.

Yes there were only downloaded using legal sites, not anything like Kazaa or Morpheus.

I use an iPaq because I run AnywhereMap on it for my GPS. Windows Media player runs in the background playing the tunes. Works great.

Thanks for the playlist Scott. I do not know much about MP3?s, so that is why I am asking. I paid zero attention until my new truck said MP3 on the dashboard. The owner?s manual says that I can play MP3 CD?s. I asked somebody and they said that I could put 4 hours of music on a CD. I see the new MP3 players at Wal-Mart are slightly larger than a pack of matches. I am a big fan of XM because I can just push a button and get commercial free music. I have a friend that has received a letter or two from a lawyer for active downloading by his kid. S what is a good simple way to download that is legal? I think I could burn a CD if I wanted to.

I just loaded iTunes on my PC at home (www.itunes.com). It has an interface to the iTunes Music Store containing a ton of music. I expected to find some of what I was looking for, but it was all there. Amazing. About $.99 per song or $10-12 for albums. iTunes is very easy to use. The big drawback is that I'm not sure you can burn an MP3 CD from iTunes. You can burn a regular CD and of course download to an iPod. I've just started playing with it, so I'm not an expert with it. I am impressed, though.

For those CD players that will handle MP3's you bascially just copy all the MP3's you want to the CD and yeah, you can get a boatload of MP3's on one CD. Pop that CD into your player and Listen to the Music as the Doobie Brothers say. As to where you get them legally I guess iTunes is as good as any. I usually just rip them from my personal CD's using Music Match Jukebox.

Another good song is Jimmy Buffett's Barometer Soup. I see that the songs are 99 cents or less. Someone told me I could get 10 hours on a CD. Lets see, a buck is 5 minutes of music... Dang a $120 CD! I have to think about this a bit. I can get a whole year of XM for that. I typcally buy a couple of $12 CD's a year. Well, I still want to put together a list. Any more favorites? I could post a list of songs on my web site. Looking for songs about flying.

Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of places I've been.
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure makes me want to go back again.
If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall.
Good times and riches and son of a bitches. I've seen more than I can recall. - Jimmy
