Playlist Makes Perfect: How to Craft the Best Collection of Songs for Your Road Trip!

Do you know that scene in so many movies where the main character blasts their favorite song in their car as they speed away along the highway? That could be you, minus the speeding, of course! All you need is an open road, a cool (and safe) vehicle, and the best playlist around. And if you need help with the third option, then we have a few pointers to help you create the best collection of songs for the road.

Use Segments

If you start your eight-hour trip with electronic music, you’re going to burn out two hours in – guaranteed. We believe it’s best to break up your entire trip into segments to keep you entertained and on your toes. We’re talking slow jams during the first segment of your trip, 80s pop during the second segment, the grunge segment, and so on.

Make it a Pre-Trip Priority

If you’re going to make a solid playlist for the road, we recommend squeezing a bit of time in beforehand for crafting your playlist. In fact, if you get it out of the way first, you can take it for a test run while you pack your bags!

A Bit of R & R

This means requests and rest! After all, there’s a big chance you won’t be taking your trip on your own. So, why not give your passengers the opportunity to play some of their favorite jams? We also recommend taking a few minutes to give your ears some rest! Just turn off the radio and make some space for conversation with your passengers. You won’t regret it!
