Ruphus -> RE: Your musical interest apart from Flamenco? (Feb. 21 2013 10:25:52)

Good question. Tired of replacing CDs or Venyls for that matter, I was seeking for some file player that could be hooked up to a standalone convertor and into my stereo. In the "electronics quarter" of the local capitol noone had heard of such, and all they could offer was lousy mp3 players for ridiculous amounts. ( I wanted something that could play all formats / WAV and flac in the first place.) So, about a year ago I had someone bring me a device from abroad, digged up in the internet and called "Logitech Squeezebox Touch". Exactly what your doc describes. Only that, you guessed it already, that LT website is being blocked from here to prevent rebellious citizens from listening to internet radio stations, hence me finding himself unable to initialize the little device. Meanwhile I found a way to get that thing to work without online animation, but am stuck for almost a week now trying to get that thing to actually function. ( Trying to set up wireless connection to server feed, etc.) Thursday night, frustrated of being unable with all this I connected a prepared harddisk to the new laptop and put on headphones. Your average soundcard convertors are pretty fine stuff these days, and I ended up listening till morning sunrise. And I was thinking of you while auditoning albums like J.J.Cale´s "guitar man". Man, was I involuntarily floundering! Just look at the lame monotonous crap that is called "dance music" this days, and then listen to endlessly inspired sounds so groovy that you just can´t but even rock an office chair. - BTW, guys: Though I havn´t it running yet, this little computer with all kinds of connections and application features really is the hit for what it can do, and that at an incredible price. Logitech appears to have stopped production, for planing to switch to a much more humble / scaled down consumer friendly concept. And it is being said already that these devices are probably joining those that will sell used in the future for what they used to cost once new. If spotting some still, you might want to grab yourself one or two for your house. Ruphus
