Playback options?

Post by funsongs » Tue Oct 30, 2018 7:17 am

Hi Rally Peeps. Non-techie Old-Guy here...

SO - no CD players at the rally.
I got neither a smart phone, ipad, nor do Facebook.

What I have is a thumb drive with mp3 files of songs.
Also have a nano thingy - but I don't find it very user-friendly; and battery life seems very limited.

How do I share those with today's listening devices - like what's likely gonna be available at the rally?

As an option:

I found a little mp3 player on amazon for about $15 bucks. (Bought a new car this year. New cars don't have CD players. I wanted something I could instantly load mp3s from my studio so i could check mixes in my car)
Works just fine.

Awesome, thanks Dean.
Went looking - and see that the BEST SELLER item also has bluetooth function - seems that might be desirable - even necessary - to playback through bigger systems, as well as via headphones/earbuds - YES?!

if anyone is in the know - what might be best available at Best Buy - seeking gear recommendation.
Thanks.

if you go to bestbuy website,you can choose your store and see what is in stock, and even have them reserve one for you. I've done that before with a phone that was the last one in stock.
