August 16, 2005 -- Life on the road can be tough, from
the bus rides and long flights to just waiting around the lockerroom. But listening
to music can be a great way to make the time pass a little
easier. Many players have MP3 players or CD players these days and are seldom seen without headphones
sticking out of their ears walking into an arena or out of a hotel.
As the Minnesota Lynx and Seattle Storm get ready to play each other this week in the
first ever webcast of a WNBA game on AOL.com, find out just what the players on both teams are they listening to these days.
