I’ve had an iPod for while and I replaced it about 18 months ago. I only really use it for exercising, when I’m walking on Takapuna beach, or on the treadmill. I have an eclectic mix, which is heavily influenced by my 12-year-old daughter!

1. Michael Buble I Just Haven’t Met You Yet

3. Michael Jackson Black & White
