Zeppelin - what’s playing on yours?

Posted on Tuesday, 14 July 2009    Comments (12)

There’s nothing we like more at Bowers & Wilkins’ London offices than racing in first thing in the morning, plugging an iPod into the office Zeppelin hitting ’shuffle songs’ and seeing what comes up.

All of our music is stored in wonderful Lossless-quality audio obviously, so we get the very best out of the Zeppelin. This is one of the benefits of still using an older generation 160GB iPod Classic.

Here’s the first five that greeted us today.

Perfect Timing - Drive by Truckers
Heart Attack And Vine - John Hammond Jnr
Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
Danny & Dusty - Let’s Hide Away
Spare Parts II - Tom Waits

Let us know your first five in a comment below. We’ll give away three months full membership to Society of Sound to any that particularly catch our eye. No cheating now!

    To Ben,
    Sonos and Zeppelin? A perfect combination surely…

    Hi Wouter,
    the reference to the older model was alluding to their size and therefore the capacity to hold more music. They do, of course, still play lossless audio!

    Led Zeppelin - Babe I’m Gonna Leave You
    Barry Louis Polisar - All I Want Is You
    Modest Mouse - Missed The Boat

    And what’s that about lossless-quality and older ipod models? Do the newer models lost their capabilities to play lossless audio?

    Let’s see, The Corrs Unplugged, George Benson, Bob James Nautilus, Earth Wind and Fire, Dave Grusin Migration, Ten Sharp, and assorted Classical genres. Great detail and dynamics!

    Kind regards,
