I think it will have to be a general agreement thing hour by hour.
anyways, anyone actually got some ideas on how you would set this up?
best way to connect several sets of speakers up to a SB? simply use
phono splitters? we aren't looking for audiophile quality and I don't
think the budget will
I'm quite suprised by peoples responses tbh.
surely as music lovers none of you are limited to likeing only one
genre? what would be so wrong about working in an environment with
random play music on from a majority policed collection? you could
eliminate anything that you hated, as could other p
How about setting it up but allowing "no music til lunchtime" to be as
valid a choice as "let's listen to jazz"

Please don't think i'm offended in the slightest mark. I value peoples
opinions and was just interested in more of an explanation. I
missunderstood and thought you meant you wouldn't stand for anything
other than your own music playing.
I hadn't really thought about people wanting it to be silen
I wouldn't want music on all day. What you suggest would probably be
great for an hour or two. I'd have BBC radio 4 on all day quite happily
but it might be more distracting. And sometimes you just need quiet..
ssshh!

Sorry Gibbo, I told you I meant no offence.
It's me. I'm just extremely intolerant of it at work, even if it's
stuff I like. I have had only slight exposure to it and it drove me
bonkers.
I simply can't concentrate on anything else if there's music on - which
may be why I like it so much.

Not too safe working in a chemistry lab wearing headphones, even
wireless ones. need to be able to hear if something happens. and I'd
find it a bit rude working in an open environment to wear headphones.

Personally I can't think of anything worse than being forced to listen
to other people's choice of music for even part of the day - and I have
worked in a lab. Make sure that people who don't want music on are
allowed to work in peace!

OOPS, small typo, erm, it was meant to say around 700 sq ft.
10 people in 70 sq ft would be a bit of a squeeze. no pun intended.
Looks like the audioengine 2's have just about hit the UK market, they
may prove a bit pricey though as for the size of room i'd guess we'd
need about 2-3 sets.

The sound from the Squeezebox is superior to an "old computer" any day
of the week. The sound out of a motherboard or sound card is horrible
in the mean, and mediocre in all but the very high end.

I'm not saying it's as good, although Squeezebox's sound is really
nothing to write home about. Yo
Go try and find any specs on the DAC in that card.
99% of them are cheapo garbage.
The only one I know of that even talks about the dac inside their card
is the top if the line Creative X-fi, and that costs as much as a
squeezebox.
I get your point about the noise in the lab, but any sound card

Get a decent sound card if you think you can hear a difference playing
You should look at the AudioEngine 2. Sweet little speakers which
require no sub.

Do you really have 10 people in a _70_ square foot office?
Why any need for a Squeezebox? An old PC with a sound card would work
just as well or better.

I've just got a set for home, I love em, they are my first choice
already.
But wasn't sure about how many satellites I'd need, and if there was
then the need for all of the sub's and how best to connect multiple
sets to the SB.
