You’ll be surprise with what the older crowd will jam too…haha
Sometimes I leave it. Haven’t had any problems. Sometimes I just turn it all the way down. A lot of older people want to know my lifes story before I drop them off lol
I play 80’s. Haven’t had a complaint and,people in there 60’s to kids singing along to songs
I use Amazon music playlists. You can download them on WiFi and not use data on the road.
I put on NPR. It often gives us a topic to converse about, or they will ask that it be turned up, and then I don’t have to talk at all.
Thanks y’all for the input! Seems like r&b is the way to go lol. I don’t listen to the radio very much. I have tens of thousands of songs on my library and besides, I like having the GPS talk through the stereo.
I keep Pandora on “Easy Listening” and it plays a wide variety and I also turned off the “allow explicit content”. I hardly ever feel embarrassed by what’s playing. If a kid is in the car I might end up skipping some songs, but it’s not a problem.
I always go to jazz or soft indie rock on the long quiet nights. Music I think makes makes people feel more comfortable.
But customers love when I ask to give them the AUX cord, when they want to play their music their faces light up
4 stations. hip hop.top 40.easy listening. and counrty. you can usually tell who and what.
Rock Station on Spotify never fails, I have had passengers asking me for an AUX cord before!
Soft rock from my favorite bands that may not be soft bands most of the time. And 80’s.
But I like to ask what they’re REALLY into. Sometimes they’re into extreme metal and I get to jam my thrash. Or I learn about unfamiliar bands. I love talking music with them.
SiriusXM Backspin (old school rap), First Wave, Rock Hits, or if I know its teeny bopper/20 something girls - “Hits”, all at a medium quiet level.
I have my radio set at music that is nice on the ears yet won’t put you to sleep. When I pull up to a pickup and I see that the Pax is older I put on classical music always at a low volume even on regular stations when it goes too loud I can’t hear navigation and I will turn it down. Or they’ll end up paying for me missing the drop off
I usually just put on “road tripping” on pandora. Or I have a thumb drive with 80’s and 90’s. I constantly have riders singing along no matter the age. Seems pretty universal.
I ask what they like and they typically say they like all kinds of music, blah blah blah. I say what are you really into, what’s your “go to”? Then we have fun. Well, as long as I don’t hate what they’re really into.
I haven’t been able to get the in-app Pandora to work. It says to connect Bluetooth or Aux cable but once I do that, it shows me stations to click on but nothing happens… Any idea why?
Have they added Bluetooth? Used to only work through a wired aux connection
Sirius XM 53 (Chill) or 33 (80’s alternative). If I’m bored of those I flip until I find something I want to hear.
In the the conversation I ask them “what’s your favourite artist” then I tell Siri to play the artist through Apple Music!
Im not with uber, but i always get complimented on my music, i dont get kudos,lol, but 80’s, 90’, and 2000 hip hop, pop, and jazz seem to do fine…just saying
