If all that's happening is bad mouse, try another mouse.

get a mac.

I just unplugged the audio cable and the music kept playing.

http://sonos.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/sonos.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1100&p_created=1276099927 the airport is the access point but it needs a data connection for some reason. I can't stream from iTunes directly so it's definitely not just acting like a speaker. I'll unplug the line-in and see what happens

yes. it's either those, or the planet.

I couldn't wait for opinions afterall and decided to get the Sonos Play 5 and give it a shot. I can return it within a month but so far I'm really digging it. Great sound (completely matches the iPod Hifi in terms of sound driving/quality with more functionality) and it's connected to my entire digital music library 1 floor away. You need to hard-wire these things initially to your network and then they "talk" to each other. You can setup sonos equipment anywhere in the house and can control them together or separately using iPhones, iPads, or PC/Mac. Access to services like Napster keeps the music flowing. Basically, I have Apple's Airport Express which is plugged in downstairs and then I had to plug the Sonos into that with a LAN cable and an audio cable. I'm not sure why I need both but I believe that the Sonos needs information from their software and it likely has memory to buffer. I don't think it depends entirely on the line-in audio channel and a stream from the airport. Really cool tech and well supported. The only thing missing is a Sonos device for the car that can hook into a satellite network. Sirius should buy them, or vice-versa. Or maybe Apple should swallow up both companies, take the satellite network and extend their cloud and music services. Mind you, that would probably rub monopoly hating people the wrong way.

I was very close to getting a sound dock yesterday for my iPod and hooking up my apple airport express but Ollie has nearly sold me on getting a Sonos system. It seems like that setup is ideal because you just keep adding to it and it'll use your network, connect up with other music services and they have apps on iPad and iPhone to control everything. Who's got thoughts on the Sonos speakers or sound docks in general? What do you have?

This Sunday on Q we've got Star Wars luminary Carrie Fisher, celebrated Canadian novellist Michael Ondaatje, and performances from Chicago rockers Wilco. Tune in this Sunday at 1pm (1:30 in NFLD) on CBC television."

epic.

I'll pick Bell Centre over Scotiabank for prince.

It's been a while since there was a worthy NYE event in Ottawa and I'm glad this is the one this year.

I'll bet there'll be a VIP package in there for a quick money grab. Need to keep the ear to the ground also for an aftershow!

Tix on Nov.5th as far as I've read.

nero's going to cap off ONE helluva year for music and open a new jar in one night.

that will no doubt be fantastic. what a line-up!

A tour would make flying out the fackn' cracked out bass player alot more reasonable!

for a sample of l'il andy check out his site... http://www.lilandy.net/main.htm btw Todd...we put up a piece on last night's show here: http://blog.jambands.ca/blog/2011/9/30/serena-jean-coming-to-elmdale-tavern.html There was clearly much more information that could have been conveyed if known how great this trio of acts are together.

Kingston and Toronto...DO NOT miss this trio of acts. Incredible group of musicians. Joe Grass... great guitars, great talent, and played with the other acts (pedal steel that'll melt you in L'il Andy's act). Serena... what can I say, she's just as sultry as ever and she's towing great musicians with her. Mike Felbar on bass makes for a great Hiway freeker reunion. L'il Andy... what charm. I bought his Vinyl without even hearing him after a conversation about it. His description and attention to detail on the cover art was enough. Glad I did that. holy shit. I'm so glad Bradm was there with mics. YOu gotta hear this and see this all.

yeah. it's been on my calendar for a couple of months. buses aren't very convenient from gatineau to elmdale. a cab each way is equivalent to 6 drafts. what a racket that taxi shit is. so's bar beer pricing. I hope that Occupy Wall Street made some noise. we need CHANGE!

that didn't take long. beat that Phish!

ipad 1 is fine for alot of people still, and iPad 2 is shitloads faster. if you buy anything else...because it's cheaper, you may save some money, but you'll end up buying yourself alot of headaches.
