Yes the computer/stereo plays MP3s!
Favorite music: Almost everything except Rap.
I like the music of Brian Adams, Robbie Williams (yummy!) and Phil Collins and have to admit I
can really chill out on all those "BoyBand"-Music.....lol
I absolutely love "The Corrs" and Irish Music !
And classical music, when I need to recover from a hard day.

My alltime favorite colour is Magenta and all that are in that colour family (lilac, violet, pink, hot pink...etc.)
