This is my current music playlist, using Amazon’s Prime Music (except for one song on there that I purchased from Amazon a while back).
—deleted because I think I deleted it at Amazon— :D
I’ll probably end up purchasing several of these songs eventually.
My favorite find of the bunch is Best Shot by Jimmie Allen. Love it, really.
I never pick songs for their words when I set up these playlists, I pick for mood. And repeatability—because I put the playlist on repeat and keep it going until I’m either sick of it, or the book is done. :-)
I usually just plug my headphones into my computer and play through the browser at music.amazon.com. When I’m playing offline (my music only), I use Windows Media Player, because it’s easy. I like it best, but I do like to take advantage of Prime sometimes. And other times, I use my phone, but my playlists there have to be recreated because my phone uses Google Music as a player and it’s kind of awkward setting up my offline playlists.
I use the computer to play my music because it’s the easiest to start and stop and mess around with while I’m writing, and most often I purchase the songs that keep my attention, and then end up making my playlist offline so I can play music when I’m on battery and not waste the battery streaming over WIFI.
Music is an important part of how I do this writing thing. :-)
