Pablo mentioned:

>(or a Trapist monk) in order to buy some silence.

If Pablo is not joking, I will be happy to pool with other list members to
buy and send him a discman which can be obtained quite cheaply in the US.
Perhaps about $50, probably a bit more if the roads and buses in Argentina
cause enough bouncing that he will need skip protection, and from his
statements it sounds that they do, so I am guessing about $80 plus
shipping.

So, is Pablo serious? And if so, does anyone want to help contribute? I
am serious about the idea, and sympathetic to his situation, due to my own
experience riding in vehicles where they play such horrible music, such as
buses and my girlfriend's car.
