    At Walmart you can buy a transmitter that will plug in your player where the earphones do and play through any radio, in your car or at home. Cost less then $14. It's in the auto section not in electronics. The same quality cost much more if in the electronic section. Runs on batteries so doesn't have to be connected to any thing in the car just your player.

    While sewing I have the TV on but not paying too much attention to it, I am usually washing clothes and cooking our next meal. Haven't figured out how to clean house and sew at the same time.

    Gotta have iTunes up, either streaming internet radio, playing through my library, or listening to a podcast. I used to enjoy quiet, but now I always have to have some kind of noise going, tho rarely the TV. Drives my DH batty. But then, he didn't grow up in a house with 9 people it it!

    Oh heavens no.... as soon as I "look away" I'll cut or sew something that wasn't supposed to be cut or sewn, or not cut or sew something that was supposed to be cut or sewn... sigh... It takes total concentration here... I've thought about trying listening to music (music that I'm already familiar with, of course), but that even makes me wary...

    I actually will have the TV, Stereo, or PC on when I sew. I'm constantly going over to the PC when I hear the chime of an incoming email or reading this message board. Gotta stop and get back to my quilt.

    I have to have the TV on when I am sewing or working on anything. I have satellite in my shop so I am happy there by myself.

    I do watch movies while I sew. My favorite is listening to books on tape. I check the tapes out from my libarary.
