while touring i've used a minidisc player and a headphone in one ear (or two
if on the interstate -- noisier) while in rural areas and in some cases
i would go so far as to say i'd have had a hard time w/o it (south dakota
for instance). i'm pretty unapologetic about it. outside of touring and
even on long rural rides locally and especially urban i would never use
headphones.
plenty of time for both the sounds of nature and music when you're riding
7+ hours a day.
mp3 players suck for touring (but you're not talking about that are you?)
because of the recharge requirement. minidisc players went for a week or
more on a AA. yow! and 6 albums per disc.
