I was thinking about getting an MP3 player or an Ipod for when I do my solo rides, but everyone I talk to is advising against it.

Greg, when you no longer need to ask the question you'll have the right answer. Until then, don't ride with earphones.

I listen to music on my iphone "Pandora streaming radio" but at a low enough level that I can hear cars and dogs coming my way.

Works very well for me during office hours, I can take calls and hear the caller through earphones, I slow down enough to talk and get some work done.

Could not live without it.

gman,

Don't go there. Concentrate on what you are doing. And above all, avoid eventual tinitis! But it's your life.
