Default Do you use music?

For those that have in-door bootcamps, do you all use music? If so, what kind and where do you get it?

I just have a radio on in the main gym floor, tuned to a classic rock station, but not too loud. I want them to hear my prompts.

When we do an all-band workout in the group fitness room I will put on one of the techno sounding CDs the aerobics divas leave in there.

Bumping it up for those who might use music. Anyone know where to get decent fitness music (please god none of the pop shit you hear in most gyms).

Not sure if this will be relevant to what you are looking for but I have recently purchased Sirius Satellite Radio and I love it. There are well over 100 different commercial free radio stations to choose from all at a touch of a button. Everything from meditation music, dance music, 3 or 4 different country, 3 or 4 different hard rock, soft rock to heavy punk metal and all those in between. Depending on who my clientelle is and what they like to listen to I have the music. It's operated with a remote so if I need to slow things down I can just change the station or vice versa. I've had it for several months now and definitely no complaints.

I was using sirius online from a computer hooked up to a few wireless speakers. But then sirius started timing out if you didn't use the computer for an hour or so. So now I've switched to aol music, which I believe is xm, which is FREE! I use the workout station in the dance category, but that may be too poppy for ya. They have a ton of stations.
