I use my ipod and only have one ear piece in so I can still hear whats going on around me

I have my ipod plugged in all day long. My customers know this and just tap me on the shoulder (always makes me jump) or they wave at me. Always have a joke about it but never an issue. I would not be without it. I tried a portable DAB radio but they are all crap. DAB only works form a static position.

I have a ipod, I have music, talking books, documentaries etc........would not be without it.

just get a mobile with mp3 on em

i have a motoralla l7, it came with 64mb card which was pretty usesless so i got a 512mb card and i got rucks of songs, on me mobile, and when someone rings, it cuts the music, i press the button on the headphones talk to them, they hang up, and the music kicks back in again...

Thats strange. I'd love to be able to listen to Radio 4 whilst at work, but of course with radios the reception comes and goes, just by turning round.

Witha n ipod do you lose reception at all when you move, rotate, or do something that work make a normal radio go doo lally?

You could try a personal digital radio

[billozz]

with a mobile the headphones act as an aerial so the reception is very good and as lwc says you can answer the phone whilst working and then the music kicks back in when they hang up

No loss of sound with one of those?

Used to use a radio on my phone, when the phone rang it would turn the radio off.  Now I just use an ipod strapped to my arm and ignore the customers.

i do sometimes listen to music on my phone when im cleaning, but to be honest it can be a bit dodgy for me, i tend not to concentrate on what im doing which can be shall we say dangerous so after a few near misses, standing in buckets etc i don't really bother now :

[ScrimShady]

i always liked the thought of getting an ipod or somethng simular but there is always the risk of me singing at the top of my voice and shattering the windows!

I use one of those cheapo "it looks like an ipod but costs £2 and is a radio" things from Asda. 

I am always wrecking them lol but its £2 so what the hell.  Reception on them is ok too.  I might move up to a cheapo clips on the belt job though as I think it would be slightly less of a pain moving about.

 ;Di have found customers give me funny looks when i start line dancing on there front lawns

I would use a little radio, but you try finding one with MW.
Can't find an mp3 player with it.
Certainly not not crappy overpriced Ipods.

I want Talksport and nothing else.

You appear to have dropped your rattle
Do you want it back?

 

[Sir Squeaky]

Does it have Medium Wave on it?

[Luke Johnson]

I just work, I think it looks un proffesional to listen to music. i think customers want to know that your attention is on the job at hand

[edd]

i think its very unpro to listen to music when working I think you should be
concentrating on the job so you don`t balls it up like some of the noobs
that USED to work for us EDD
