Get a good podcast app (e.g beyondpod) and subscribe to informative and entertaining podcasts, I absorb a lot of information this way

I like this suggestion. I always thought that listing to music all the time is an inefficient use of MP3.

I wonder whether music can be used to teach more complex things. I understand that in some oral cltures our ancestors used songs and dance to transmit knowledge. Can physics be taught this way?

And this reminds me of Dance your PhD.
