Also my first show, and also a life changing moment. What a trip. Zooooommmmm

If I get off work in time, I'll be there

Add..

Just got my Tix Sec 202

OK,

SB3 is now the classic SB2 is an older model, probably discontinued (though it would still work fine)

Squeezebox can do as many streams as your computer can handle. On an older server or the vortex box this means 4 streams (different tunes playing simultaneously in different rooms).

You could run it all from your computer, but the more convenient way would be to get one controller and 3 receivers. The receivers each have a different name and you can select and control the different zones all from one remote.

I've had no issues with dropouts or network traffic associated with the squeezebox.

The vortex box has several advantages:

quiet & low power (25w)

4 onboad audio outputs

preconfigured to rip your disks (insert disk, rips to flac and mp3, gets tag info, download cover art from net, all hands free).

If you are computer savy, cou can D/L the vortex box OS for free (its open source) and put it on an existing machine. For me it's the low power element that sells the vortex box. My server right now has a 200w power supply, so the vortex will cut my musical carbon footprint by 8 times. Also the auto rip is cool, as I've strugled with getting a similar setup to work on my own server.

Hope this helps.

(If you get confused just listen to the music play)

I know a recent York grad that's very talented. Here's her site the wanderlust collective

I have a boombox and a Squeezebox Classic. The boombox is in my bedroom (wake up to the tune of your choice) and the Squeezebox Classic is in the living room. They can stream separate tunes or sync up. The Classic is hooked up to my existing stereo. So you can send the music files wherever you want, wirelessly, you just need to provide the speakers and power (or use the boombox). The sound quality is stellar. You may want to consider the duet model. It is a hand held remote with a color screen that shows you album covers as you browse.

I checked out Sonos as well, but this was cheaper.

I've been very happy with my set up. Very liberating to have all your music at your fingertips anywhere in the house (or yard).

If I were to do it again I'd get a duet and a Vortex Box as the server.

Enjoy

I use a Logitech Squeezebox. All my music is on my server, which uses standard 802.11g wireless LAN to share FLAC quality tunes.

I've been thinking about the Vortex Box. TB Drive, Rips and Encodes tunes to MP3 and FLAC at the same time, works as a music server via Logitech's free SqueezeCentre. Built on Linux and Open Source software, will even work as a BitTorrent server. $360 US

who is in charge of scheduling?

Bank of America Stage

7:00 pm Ice Cube

9:30 pm Our Lady Peace

I suspect this has to do with having the large party crowd disperse before it gets dark...

Just checked out The Dead Weather (Jack White's new band). Here's the single. Think I'll add this to my list for bluesfest.

Still waiting to find out the big closer on Saturday, July 18...

It's actually a production facility, not a farm. They make no assertion that the beef is grown there.

What struck me was the sheer volume of burgers produced. I guess that scale is required to make any profit from a cheap product.

Still wouldn't catch me eating there though.

(973): On a scale from 0 to 24...wait, 3 to 24, where 6 is the lowest and 12 is the highest, how freaking high re you right now?

(910): another moral hangover. fuck.

You have 2 cows and you overhype thefuck out of them.

HAHAHA best one yet!

Can't make this show, but I caught them in Detroit earlier in the month and it was off the hook. Really tight. If you're on the fence, then make the effort. You won't be disappointed.

4 lawns for darien, woo hoo

denied

damnit

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Live

Antelope, really ... wtf?

Haha: twitter rumor of terrapin got the geeks up in arms

Mexican Cousin = boo

Melt, Punch, Gumbo, Reba = very tasty

In honor of to nights show, I'm listening to last nights show... Just started set two, really dig that new tune "Backwards Down The Number Line" its gonna be a big one, Trey sounds great in the middle and there's potential for a good cohesive jam building. Reminiscent of the way in which the Billy Breaths era tune were built.

Dude, I'm stoked for PhIsH 3.0; I think it's what my life's been missing as of late. Bring the new tunes ;-)

Back on the Train

Had to be...
