mine is generally played on my n95 through bluetooth headset over A2DP. yes i look like a **** but it works :D
 
Rocky OST

all you need, surprising how many more reps you can push out with a little hearts on fire playing!
 
For the last two minutes of my 15 on the treadmill I usually whack the speed up to 20km/h and put on one of the following songs for an adreniline rush. Have to be at deafening volume levels for the optimum effect :)

Green Day - No Pride
Green Day - Westbound Sign
Biffy Clyro - Saturday Superhouse (chorus mainly)
NoFX - Kill All The White Man (1min40s onwards)
 
Some of the songs on my mp3 player at the moment;

Disturbed: This Moment/The Sickness/Voices
Papa Roach: Dead cell
Kill Switch Engage: Holy Diver/Vibe Infra/Self Revolution
All that remains: Whispers
Nonpoint: Rabia
Ice Cube: Pushin' Weight
Soil: Halo
Korn: Made me bad/Right now/Y'all want a single
 
slipknot,korn,ratm,ac/dc,prodigy,godsmack all on my playlist for the gym

maybe add some bowie or similar to chill out a bit when you're warming down so you don't want to kill someone on the way home from the gym.
 
Im another 'no-music'er i prefer to focus. I can see how it helps on cardio as you need something to do (my treadmill faces my media center :D) but when doing weight i find if you have music on you spend more time worrying about what track will 'help you lift' than you do about racking the bar or getting proper form.

Case in point, whenever i train with a partner they nearly always want 'tooones' on so i oblige bringing up a tracklist on the PC. Every set, and i mean EVERY set after that they will go and spend 2-5mins browsing a new song for the set (which is typically 1/3 the length of the song or less) which leads me to chastise them like a schoolteacher 'look are you hear to lift weights or become a superstar DJ?' or my new favourite "If there are two types of woman in the world, those most interested in the contents of your Ipod and those most interested in the contents of your clothes, which would you rather attract?"
 
I have a pile of old LTJ Bukem and Conrad mixes...all lasting at least an hour...and apart from the likes of the prodigy....its the only stuff that gets me pumpin. The good thing about it is that the mixes usually get harder and they go on just when you need more energy..and there is no changing music/tracks required.
