Music on the trail

[Fxdgear23]

If you download the frostwire app on your phone, youll get 85% of what your searching for. Theres a trick......after youve downloaded your songs, if you remove the app you will loose all the music. But, if you transfer the torrent data to another device......you can keep it all. The uninstall the app and tranfer the databack. Now youhave a permanent playlist.

Nothing beats the sounds of nature for me...but as a solo hiker, I carry a tiny radio/earbuds from Wallyworld, ten bucks I think it was, weighs less than three ounces.
I don't bother with it during the day but I find it really satisfying to listen to at night sometimes in my tent as it picks up the local stations along the trail and sometimes gives me a 'heads up' on the local weather.
