Listening to music while flying

What I am interested in is doe you listen to music while flying?
And, if yes, what do you listen to?

On my last flight in the YMF-5 over italy just a few minutes ago I was listening to an older live concert from ALESTORM - Live in Tilburg 2019:

When you like rock, hard rock and heavy metal and have some kind of humor you need to see these guys live :metal:

Audio books are perfect while flying. Enjoy!

On longer flights i usally play music in my headset kind of low. Usually classic rock.

When I fly the MiG-29 in DCS, I ask Alexa to play Russian Hardbass and bring out the vodka shots for the authentic experience

During those scenic VFR flights, I enjoy listening to music from the area that Iā€™m flying in from https://radio.garden. Try flying through the Austrian Alps while listening to German Oompa folk music. It really adds to the immersion. :slight_smile: I recently did the Tasmanian bush trip while listening to stations from Tasmania. So cool to hear those Australian accents while listening to local Tasmanian news. The site is so easy to use, you just point and click on a map to get stations from around the globe.

You also have a civilian GPS in that MIG :joy: :rofl:

Yeah, I do that with JumpSeat radio. About 3 weekends ago when I was flying in Alaska, the Junea radio station I had on had songs in Eskimo. I guess I never thought about music in the Eskimo language, so I was surprised. (Donā€™t get mad at me. I havenā€™t been exposed to Eskimo culture before, so it was honestly I never even got to the point of thinking ā€œI wonder if Eskimoā€™s singā€). So not only are you experiencing what the area looks like, you are also getting exposed to the culture, which I find really really cool.

Thanks, will have to check out JumpSeat radio.

On those long flights I sit back and chill listening to Radio - Smooth Chill (smoothradio.com). Perfect match for when the sunā€™s going downā€¦

I have 3 hr 45 min of cabin music - itā€™s mostly calm and soothing stuff (but Iā€™m an old 70ā€™s music guy so it fits). My favorite is the Singapore Airlines Boarding Music. Itā€™s really smooth and relaxing. Iā€™ll have to try jumpseat.

I like to use JumpseatRadio from mrbogster, available in flightsim.to (link below).
You can listen radios around the world directly connected with your flight position. Is fun because you can listen different styles of radios and music, depending where you are in MSFS world. And of course you can save your Favorite radios to listen, despite where you are.

I do occasionally. The genre depends on my mood. Thereā€™s something about the sound of the engines that is just as good as ā€˜musicā€™ to me.

I often listen to music and podcasts while flying. Music-wise I listen to almost anything pre-2010. Iā€™m not too picky with music. Any genre, 50ā€™s to 00ā€™s. Rock, rap, country, metal, pop, r&b, etc. But I donā€™t really care for anything made in the last decade or say, except a few here and there.
