Calming CD music....

sarahpanda — Thu, 15 May 2025 01:42:27 GMT

I don't think anyone has ever made a CD with easy , soothing, calming music - without a 'blast' tune wrapped up in there --somewhere in the middle of the CD !!! If you know of a CD that has continual easy listening music '', all the way through'', I certainly would love to know about it ! TIA

I listen to the Easy Listening station on Xfinity. Calming, soothing music whenever I want it.

Are you in the market for "easy soothing calming music" or "easy listening"? These are two very different genres.

If the former, have you tried yoga music, or music for meditation? I can't recommend any personally but have seen them advertised on yoga-related sites.

If "easy listening" is what you are seeking I have no clues but it's a large category from which to choose.

I listen to a PBS fm music station much of the day and love most of the music, which is usually classical.

@sarahpanda If you have an Amazon Echo you can tell it to play soothing/calming music or sounds.

If you have a cd/dvd burner, you can download & burn onto a cd soothing/calming music or sounds from the net. A good place to start isYouTube.

The most peaceful music I've ever heard and a favorite of mine is an album called Deep Peace by arranger Bill Douglas. It's based on Celtic music.

@Desertdi ...I have a Bose CD player, bought many years ago, from QVC as a matter of fact...still sounds just as good now as it did brand new. It's what puts me to sleep at night.

@sarahpanda I've always loved the sound of the ocean lapping on the shore, a gentle rain, thunderstorms, etc. I have several CD's that I play while painting, reading and especially while falling asleep.

It's also helped my dogs become used to the sound of a thunderstorm so that when a real one comes, they just sleep through it. It's worked better than thunder shirts, etc.

@sarahpanda I have several Bose combo radio/CD players in my rooms. I love them.

@Kachina624 , thanks for that suggestion. I've been searching for some nice morning music to play on Pandora and have added his station. I like to listen to easy music to greet my day before moving into something else to suit my mood for the day. I appreciate this suggestion and will look forward to listening.

@Desertdi Thankfully yes. I burn mix tape CDs for my enjoyment & for immediate family members upon request. I only buy the 100 pk.

@Shanus My dogs ignore reecorded thunderstorms but get nervous with the real thing. They clearly know the difference. I think the flashing lightening makes a big difference.

@Desertdi. I have two CD players in the house and one in my old car. It's the only way I listen to music.

@shy bobcat Thank you so much for your suggestion...I just ordered it from Amazon . I listened to some of it on 'YouTube', sounds like I will love it ! Thanks again.

@Kachina624 My dogs have never liked lightening. Thaat's when they go in their crates w/ it turned away from the window.

I just sit back in my chair and turn on youtube. I find anything with Cello and violin pretty relaxing.
