The calming effects of listening to music are well known. Many people play music to suit or change their moods including those that enjoy ambient music for meditation and some even for stimulation - see this interesting article about using an adult toy that "tunes in" to your portable music player.
With the arrival of ultra portable music players anyone can listen to their choice of music at all times. Even the Pickfords removal company men were spotted strutting their funky stuff whilst humping boardroom tables during an office move. All over the UK jobs are being completed while listening to music and whilst it is important to concentrates whilst "on the job" many more are turning to chilling out during working hours in order to help lower their blood pressure.
The most popular music player is now the iPod with four variations. The new nano is ultra small and boasts impeccable sound quality and is a favourite of those wishing to relax to more classical music whereas the iPod shuffle is a cheap ipod ideal for wearing during vigorous exercise.
Althought the iPod has lead the field in portable music there are many models of mp3 players available. Some MP3 players are available at incredibly low prices. A quick glance over at the MP3 Player Guide shows that some leading mp3 players are now offering more bang for you buck than iPods - eg the Archos Wifi has a monster 160GB storage and you can't fail to be impressed by the Creative Zen MP3 Player graphics and display.
No mater which model you choose a comfortable set of headphones are essential both for sound quality and assisting relaxation.
