MP3 music system?

[mrsbruce]

Buy a cheap smart phone. Reset it to factory settings and bung some music on it.
Much better that a mp3 player.

Ipod touch is basically a stripped down iphone.
I use aa old galaxy s2 for mp3 and streaming to the stereo

My previous to last phone was (if I remember), a galaxy s2. It went a bit funny, and kept closing down on me. I thought it was the battery going, so fitted a new one, and no luck. Since I’m on a contract, I just got a new one instead of faffing about with it (a nice galaxy 3)

Maybe it’s time to dig it out again. Or just start using my galaxy 3 phone (duh!).

Went for an ipod touch while I can get it cheaper here in Oz and ordered a pair of Edifier R1280T speakers from a guy on ebay who was selling an unwanted present. Looking forward to setting it up and no more radio 6.

well I was using some cheap bought ones for the job keeping my mits off those speakers but just knew i couldnt resist them and would have to try them out

so connected to my phone with some bass music to it note i prefer dance bass music wigan pier stuff

now those speakers did give some nice sound out of them i even had to turn the base down abit
other days the base went on and then gave me a headache so got turned back off while working in there

now ive used many a program but tend to prefer xilisoft quick and easy and not a pain like itunes to use

itunes had the bad habbit of wanting to format your device if you lost its drivers some how on a pc machine

ITunes must be the worst piece of software that I have ever had the misfortune to use and Apple don't seem to be the slightest bit concerned. It is unstable, unfriendly, unreliable and the error trapping appears non existant. Sometimes it just locks up and there is no way to work out if it really has crashed, stuck in a loop or carrying out some task in the background. Truly awful.

i agree always caused a crash or error at best and having to convert songs before it installed them on your hardware made it even worse of a program to use

most of time i only use the drivers from the software and use another software to do what im wanting to do with it

Is that xilisoft an MP3 player or a converter?

I had an iPod Touch second gen when I was about 10 or 11, hated iTunes even then. Firmly an Android man now.

Nothing wrong with iPods, just the default sync software.

i tend to use xilisoft more often than not, easy programs to use and quick to do whats needed and transferes and encodes stuff fast

its more of an encoder or file to another type convertor ukracer

will transform mp3 video codec up to mp4 divx rather nicely

or psp playstation or nintendo basically any format thats needed much faster than the proper software all you need to do is transfer it over to the system your using

I had a look on their web site, both versions of iPad magic (?) were about $40 even the one that proudly proclaimed that it was not iPhone 4 / IOS4 compatible, I kind of lost interest.

 

[gaz1]

from my point of view there programs did exactly what i wanted them to do

encode from one source to another and do it quickly
ipad magic well i used that for some of the estates iphones and for my ipod classic a friend used the same program for his childrens iphones

it was fast easy to transfer onto the classic compared to itunes
iphones wasnt a problem as long as the driver was installed for it i had to update itunes once for that

Working in the sheds and garage a fair bit at the moment and i am using a Anker soundcore2 bluetooth speaker with music from my android phone, The bass is amazing for a £25 small speaker.

I got it through a deal i spotted on Ukhotdeals around Christmas
this one is £28
https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/an...y-ankerdirect-and-fulfilled-by-amazon-3143513
for £40 you can get the 20w speaker from Anker
https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/an...y-ankerdirect-and-fulfilled-by-amazon-3168978
But the soundcore motionB is out now so the soundcore2 should drop in price. The nice thing is most of the Anker speakers and moisture resistant so won't get affected by the damp in the garage.
