New Frontiers in Mixing

billroperI just spent an hour and a half beating up New Frontier. With luck, the next song won't take anywhere near that long to fix up.
It strikes me that it would be really convenient to have small computers with wireless cards sitting turned on and connected to the other stereos in the house so that I could just copy a file there to listen to instead of having to burn CDs. Of course, I have no small unused computers sitting around. I do have a couple of big, hulking ones.
I suspect this is not going to be a popular suggestion. :)

Date: 2007-02-20 02:52 pm (UTC)Buy a spare RCA to 3.5mm lead and leave that permanently connected to the hifi, then it's quick to connect up the MP3 player (the USB end of things might take a little longer but again, have a USB hub with easy to reach ports (I use the Belkin 7 port hub which has two sockets on top for memory keys etc.))
And I bought a cheap iPod dock for my hifi in the living room (£15 including power supply to recharge the iPod and an infrared remote) so I can just drop the iPod into the cradle and play stuff from there through the hifi should I so desire ... I will be upgrading to a video cradle sometime since the hifi is the home cinema system, but as I have no video worth mentioning (just news podcasts) on the iPod yet, it can wait.
