We flew Virgin to South Africa in December. By the time we got on the return flight in January the in flight music had been stopped. So today we flew to LA & still no music due to a dispute.

To do with this - http://www.aviationnews-online.com/regulatory/airl...

Anybody know more?

Don't people carry their own music around these days?

Good. I don't want to be force-fed pop music.

Do you mean the crappy boarding music they play or albums from the in flight system?

I flew back from the US last week on KLM and they had their full range of music.

Maybe it's just Virgin?

The dispute is with Inflight Audio Ltd.

I should imagine that not all airlines use them.

I've flown most weeks for the past few years.
I haven't once contemplated listening to the music.

Have I been missing out?
Maybe.

I fly mostly on KLM and the the movies are segregated as Latest, Recent or Collection.

Although they change the latest every month,, it doesn't take many flights to have seen what you (I) want to see.

When I've run out of films, I often listen to the latest albums as it's a sort of "try before you download buy" and I've dropped onto a few things I would have never listened to by being a captive audience.
