Once you get it working VLC is pretty good. If you have Win 8 pro and wanna spend the 9 bucks, Windows Media Center is good too. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of randy tijerina Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2016 9:02 PM To:

Because that’s exactly what they are, the demand for Docks has slackened given the cordless freedom that Bluetooth and other Wi-Fi offerings can achieve that Docks cannot. > On 25 May 2016, at 10:31 AM, Singing Sparrow wrote: > > why do you say they are a dying race?

Fanus Yes two separate speakers. They connect by usb to your computer directly so you do not need to use an external digital to audio converter for them. The connections are all at the back on the underside of the speaker. They run from their own power supply so they are not portable in

To put things into perspective, the little Degen radios are incredibly powerful - wasn't long ago that such power would have to come from a tabletop - and we're talking small portable here. They're not on the same scale as your Sangean ATS909X or the Eton Satellit but at a quarter of the

I found several Dejen radios on Amazon for well under $100, but not the D-1103. Nothing for Kido 1103. It's pretty amazing what you can get for less than $100 these days, especially when I consider that I grew up with short wave in the 1970s. Things have come a long way since then.. Evan

You're not going to get an iPod Dock in a boombox with a CD Player as far as I know. Now if you were to think differently in the form of a Tabletop system or a Compact Micro system then things change. I have a Sangean DDR63 Tabletop which has a CD Player - plays MP3/WMA files from CD and
