Agree with Feint, I also use the Sony EX-71 in-ear earphones. The shiz. Both in terms of sound quality (since they are so deep in the ear), and staying in place and comfy under a helmet. The standard style Apple earbuds or anything in that mould just didn't work for me.
Now they also have EX-81s with a loop to go around the ear for a more secure fit. Think these should be OK under a helmet.

Playlists - I only regularly use 1 Smart Playlist, with these conditions:
* 3 stars or higher, as rated by me.
* Not been played in the last month.
* On Shuffle (of course)
By virtue of listening to a song, it gets dropped out of this playlist for a month
Soooo, I always get something I'll like (having bothered to rate it), haven't heard in a bit, so retains novelty, but I won't know exactly what song it'll be. It's like a radio station especially made for you!
This playlist has anywhere between 1500 to 500 songs to select from, depending on how much I've been listening to the iPod. And it serves me on the Ninja, on a pedal bike, walking round the hood, walking at lunch from the office, in the cage, leaving the cage and pushing a supermarket trolley about, etc etc. And it's like a continuous running soundtrack for your life.....
Them Elton John -> Metallica transitions make me giggle though.
