i use one earbud (with hook, the reg. ones don't stay in). i use the right only, and just put left one in my shirt.
i have the xm portable satellite, i've had for about a year and love it, has NPR shows, BBC, music, and can record shows at certain times to playback, but if giving a recommendation i say just get an mp3 player and download your music or subscribe to whatever podcasts please you.
the past three weeks i've been listening to my spanish lessons on a small mp3 players, so if anything's distracting me it's wondering why Pimsluer's Juan and Maria went to the Restaurant Columbia with solo siete pesos y ocho dolares. no puedemos compra una cervesas! Entonces van al hotel y ver dos mujeres. este mujera es grande pero ese mujera es pequino!
give me six months. i'm getting better every day.
