Nancy Ajram, Khaled, Elissa, Ruby, Sherine, Amr Diab, Hasna, Chebs - many of them!, the list goes on

My playlists mostly consist of dance sets for restaurants, classes, weddings as well as Arabic & French lessons
A few books downloaded from I-tunes
A few random podcasts
all in all..... when I'm trying to express something in class by showing my students something to an arabic piece, then I want to show them the same thing to an american piece - I'm at a loss b/c there's so little american music on it!

Did I mention that I absolutely love the orchestral pieces used in Egyptian classic dance??

Noura...My belly dance instructor used Akon's Bananza (Belly Dancer) for our freestyle dancing at the end of the class. It's a fun song.

I like this one too... don't have it though........ hmmm... maybe an itune to download now!

Other Arabic music that I just liked and fiance sent to me.

It owul dbe much easier to tell you what is NOT on my IPOD. eclectic doesnt even begin to describe my selection

I don't have an iPod . . . just a little Creative Zen!!!

It has lots of Bellydance music along with some Cure and Depeche Mode . . . forgot what else . . . I don't carry it to work with me. Which reminds me . . . i need to update it for my upcoming trip!

I used to have a Zen but it broke

that's my 10 yr old daughter's ringtone

I've noticed lately that she and I have a lot of the same songs........freaks me out!!!





I have a SanDisk Sansa

I can't even begin to list them, I have over 1600 songs. The bulk of it is Arabic (all kinds) and there is some pop,R&B, hip hop, latin, turkish, and other stuff I can't remember.

Oh and I have an IPod, it holds 20G

LOL, I am thinking that I need an upgrade, hehe!!

It's really great for traveling, you can buy an adapter which will download your photos from your camera once the memory card gets full.

I have one of those old iPods before they were photo/video capable and it's a 40G I wish I could upgrade to one w/ video & photo capabilities!

The real question is . . . . DO I NEED ANY MORE ELECTRONIC TOYS???? I can always answer "YES"!!

eeeeveryone can use an ipod I got my 2g nano at the beginning of december, and it's become my best friend.

I can't live without mine. I found a place that will install software and a connector to my navigation system so that I can listen to my Ipod in the car and use my screen to navigate through the songs!

I looove my IPod. I got it for Christmas of 2005, which was right after the video ones came out. I haven't downloaded too many videos yet because it just takes too long, but I love my music! I have several playlists of different types of music.

One is my workout playlist: Black Eyed Peas, DMX, Usher, Daniel Bedingfield, Alien Ant Farm, Live, Shakira, and several others make up that list.

Another is my melancholy playlist. It's full of songs that I play when I'm feeling sappy or sad. It has: Against All Odds (Phill Collins), Nothing Compares 2 U (Sinead O'Connor), Smooth Operator (Sade), Fade in to You (Mazzy Star), When You Say Nothing at All (Allison Krauss), Let Go (Frou Frou) and many others.

Then, I have a Salsa/Rai mix CD, an African-Latin CD that would be perfect for salsa dancing, some Algerian music, a bunch of French pop songs, Dave Matthews Band, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Jump, Keane...the list goes on.

I really love love love my Ipod, but wish Itunes had a better selection. Sometimes I seem to have a hard time finding the songs I want to download.

is there a generic off topic, topic? If so I would like to move it to the off topic area.

I think it should stay here because it was intended to be here. Its not only about Ipods but the different arabic music we have on them.

I agree w/ JP... all of our little MENA-isms keep getting moved and we do them here for a reason! Thanks!

i agree too. there is another ipod thread in ot and this one deals with mena music

I have a 6 gig ipod that I bought myself for my trip to Egypt. I actually don't have any MENA music on it but would be happy for suggestions, links, etc.
In general I tend to go for upbeat kind of music but I don't mind slow or sad stuff.

Also, my favorite reciter of quran is Abdul Rahman Alsudais (I think that's his name). Here's a link to some of his recitations on IslamWay. quran
I need to find a cd that has him reciting the whole quran on it. I don't know if I have the space to hold it all on my ipod though.

A short history on nearly everything by Bill Bryson

Most of the songs in the "Song of the Day" thread has links for the MP3

Can you take an Ipod on a plane?
