[all-audio] Bowes Mini SoundLink replacement?

2020-02-19 Thread John Gurd via Groups.Io
I have the first Mini SoundLink and I really like the audio from it. Unfortunately it's on it's last legs. I think I heard the subsequent versions weren't as easy to use. Is that correct? I'm looking for a Bluetooth speaker around the same size with the same or better rich sound? Any suggestions?

If I remember correctly WavePad decays the quality of the audio each time you save is it doesn't act on the mp3 frames. MP3Mate sounds like a better bet. John -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Mike Bernard via Groups.Io Sent: 22 January 2020 17:13 To: all-audio@g

Re: [all-audio] Latest iPod touch does anyone have it

2019-07-22 Thread John Gurd via Groups.Io
I thought about it but the chip is only the equivalent of iPhone 7 and it could be obsolete in a year. The thing that really put me off though was that it doesn't use a finger-print sensor. The thought of entering a very long string every time I wanted to use my password manager really did it!

I believe Apple have their own in-line protocol and it differs from the one Android use. That would explain why you don't get all the functionality. I presume B&W would have specified this somewhere but it's some so long since I bought mine I don't recall. John -Original Message- From

It looks like a really impressive service. But there is a lot of talk about Title being in financial difficulty. There were claims in December they only had 6 months working capital. It is thought they came to an already crowded streaming market too late, and their premium service is pitched at too

Just so maybe others that it loads slow for can see if they have any of that stuff and then maybe they could get rid of it. Then maybe it would make there winamp run faster for them as well. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of John Gurd via Groups.Io Sent: Tuesda

Have you installed the SQR Crossfader by any chance? I know someone who did that and Winamp takes at least a minute or two to load. I use Winamp and it loads straight away. I did take the time to remove a lot of features from Winamp that no longer work or are redundant. John -Original Mes
