Be Excellent To Each Other

Hello.
When I'm in my car, I can play the music on my phone through the car stereo without having to plug anything in. It's like living in the future, or something.

Anyway, I want something simular in my house, but everything I can find includes a CD player (which I don't want), or is network enabled and cost eight million pounds.

So what do I want?

[edit]Aha, it would appear I should be searching for bluetooth speakers.

Anyone used any?

What's this fucking voodoo?

I want to try one of these now.

Ugh. Bluetooth bitrates are crummy. This is going to sound like ass.

Holy crap!

Only to your stupid ears. It seems like you can plug most of them in anyway, just in case you come over.

That's the same price as a Squeezebox. Get a Squeezebox.

But a squeezebox doesn't work using magic.

What does it sound like?

Doo-doo-a-doo-doo-dippy-dippy.

Don't get a squeezebox. If Mrs Grim... gets anywhere near it you'll never get a decent kip again.

Depends which song you choose.

Can two Squeezeboxen play the same thing?

And you know what I mean, piss-takers.

Yeah, you can tell one to sync to whatever the other's doing.

Sound quality is excellent - because it's playing your music locally on the squeezebox, so no bitrate issues.

I got work to buy me one of those magical speakers today ("Can I buy a speaker for presentations?" "Yes." ":click:"), so we'll see what they're like.

Well, I've only had a quick go with it on my desk. Hold it in your hand and it sounds like someone else wearing loud headphones. Put it on your desk and your face goes

Would you believe it, the price has gone down by £10 since I ordered it a week ago

Isn't there an amazon price promise thingy?

Not for the last four years

Work paid, anyway.
