How do I screen the music to be sure it is age appropriate, short of listening to every song??? I know some music comes edited, but it isn't only the cuss words I am worried about but the message of the songs. For instance I was driving in the car the other day and I heard a song on the radio that said, "I don't like the drugs, the drugs like me??" Any suggestions would help. --------------------

You could try going to the singer's website to get a "feel" for the kind of music that it is. Or maybe look up the lyrics to the songs online? Or check out the reviews of the cd?

Read the jackets of the CD's... Look closely though, the print tends to be small and somewhat obscure. Shame we don't have a V-Chip for music. -------------------- Ed is husband to Lisa (since 1983) Dad to Ricky, John, Erin and Kaitlin The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

Also, if you're unsure, if you were to go to say HMV, ask the clerks, I'll bet they'll know. I haven't been able to ask them a question yet that they couldn't answer As Happymom stated, yeah, post a list of the groups your DD wants. I have an extremely wide and diverse passion for music. I love everything except rap and country, so I won't be able to help you there, but my personal music taste runs from Nine Inch Nails to the Sex Pistols to darn near everything from the 80's to Johann Sebastian Bach
