Lines: 8 I don't see how people can listen to CDs on airplanes. The constant roar of engines overpowers any sonic advantage of CDs. I've found that I can't even listen to good home-recorded tapes on airplanes if there's a wide dynamic range. For example, much of Holst's "The Planets" is inaudible on planes (except, of course, "Mars, the Bringer of War"). On planes, I usually just stick with David Bowie, Talking Heads, (for classics) Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", and the like.
