Hey, thanks! I wish I was so cool as to have a solid sound system. I move so damn much, I figured if it's not something that I can fit in a relatively reasonable space it's probably something I'll ultimately have to give away. I was looking around for stuff, and that's how I landed on a bluetooth speaker. Because I am not in the mood to gather cds, an external drive, or anything. Although really if I had it my way I'd load up my flash drive and just plug it into something. I thought maybe building my own bluetooth would keep the volume at a reasonable level, give me a fun project to do, as well as give me a reason to keep lugging the thing with me =P!
I hadn't heard of wifi speakers, so I didn't know they existed but you've got me interested and I am going to have a look. I gave up on headphones because unless terribly long my hair just expands outwards to the heavens and the two don't mix. Two other things, by the by, that I thought about were a micro-set of (powered) bookshelf speakers. But it seemed to intense for a kitchen area. Or taking an old phone, some kinda 2.0 computer speakers, and forming a body out of wood or something to make a "boom-box." But phones are so endlessly creepy that idk. But I do like the recycling aspect, and tbh would still be using the babe today if they hadn't shut down 3G permanently @_@!!!
You've given me some things to think of though, and thank you for your help!
Ohhhhh, it’s not a “wireless speaker” per se, it’s just a computer stuffed in a speaker that connects to WiFi on its own.
I'm super in love with the idea, I wonder if there's some kinda diy setup you could do. Just kinda like how people make streaming servers for their home. I just didn't even think about it. So it was a lovely idea. Big thanks for all the talk =)
