Music and Mapping

stormdogI've really missed sitting and working at my computer with music. I do it while photo editing, but music is not conducive to paper writing. I realized tonight, though, that it works swimmingly while working with cartographic software.
I've gone through Dark Side of the Moon, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, and am partly through the Indigo Girls' self-titled album. I think of myself as something of an audiophile. I still haven't managed to get my vintage Marantz receiver repaired, (That reminds me; my uncle was willing to look at it. I have to bring it to Easter tomorrow.) but I have a a decent set of three-way speakers that have a midrange response, unlike those little subwoofer and satellite sets that are so popular for PCs, all highs and bass. These belonged to my grandfather, and playing music on them makes me think of him.
Central Park labeling and Sarah McLachlan are next.

Also, I'm playing my music mostly from physical CDs, on Winamp 2.9, copyright 2003, on a computer running Windows XP. I may be old-school, cheap, stubborn, or some combination thereof.
