Welcome to the 21st Century Marco :lolsign: Its made my day
I plan to bring my laptop and USB to SPDIF converter and have the Perfect Cricle album on that I presume you bringing your DAC It should be no issues as the copper dac/pre has no issues

No issues running the same converter into dCS Purcell either, makes those MP3 sound mighty fine John :)

Marco listening to MP3 on Spotify, whatever next :eyebrows:

[John]

I think the world stop turning for a brief second in shock
Yes that converter is pretty nice Mark

[Marco]

Lol - it's bloody sacrilege!!

John, nope, no DAC this time, as we're using a modded Eikos CDP with its own built-in DAC, so if you wanna do any compy-chooter stuff, bring yer DAC and whatever other gubbins ya need :)

Marco.

[John]

Does the CD have a digital coaxial input if yes no need to bring my DAC

[spendorman]

Added Thanks

Thanks

Just seen another Raven track in the list, great.

[Marco]

Btw, I thought your name, dude, was Paul, not Alex? :scratch: :eyebrows:

Marco.

[John]

Come folks please feel free to add or suggest music to add

[Marco]

Does the CD have a digital coaxial input if yes no need to bring my DAC

Not sure. It's not mine, so I'll find out. And you defo mean coaxial input, rather than output?

Marco.

[John]

yes input it needs to read from the laptop via the converter most CD players usually do but not all

[spendorman]

Btw, I thought your name, dude, was Paul, not Alex? :scratch: :eyebrows:

Marco.

Both names are mine, all mine!

My father did not have two forenames, just the one, reckoned that they were so poor, could only afford one.

[Marco]

yes input it needs to read from the laptop via the converter most CD players usually do but not all

Ok, I'll ask :)

Alex/Paul, I'll let you off! ;)

Marco.

[Marco]

Hi John,

Soz, apparently the Eikos is too old for that kind of stuff, however, we have access to an M2Tech Young DAC, if that's any good? :)

Marco.

[John]

It should be but might have driver issues as I use widows 7
It might be best for me to bring my DAC on the train
My Nu-vista had a digital in and that is even older than the Ekos

[John]

It says you have to upload driver on the manual I could do this before the show in case no internet issues it also has a coaxial in so might not need driver as the usb to spdif converter will take care of that so worth a try as we have two options to get sounds striaght vis usb or with the converter

[Marco]

Sounds good, John - always good to have another source, and up-to-date technology, too! Please therefore do the necessary :)

Marco.

[Ian Walker]

Anyone, any comments?

Great choice of music, particularly alternative artists, but poor interface and no official iPhone app. Sacrilege I know, put if you're going to pay £10 a month to get rid of adverts you want to be able to listen to stuff on the bus as well... :)

[keiths]

OK - had a play. Here, hopefully, is a short playlist of some female vocalists that I like (probably bore the pants off most people, though)

That's great - thanks Keith - duly added.

By the way, if people add any tracks or make changes to their playlists, this should automatically get updated in the AoS Spotify pages.

[keiths]

OK, getting carried away now, here's another one...

Jazz For People Who Don't Do Jazz (http://open.spotify.com/user/keithsimister/playlist/5C3PWePSMzMTUayip7SazP)

(Maybe this thread should be split - a 'sticky' submissions thread + a 'sticky' info thread?)

[The Grand Wazoo]

There's a list there called 31 Songs, which I put together for Alex's SpotiFace launch party. It's the tracks discussed in Nick Hornby's book of the same name:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41DZ471D4EL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

......the only trouble is, that the list is a bit short as Spotify doesn't have all of them. I've found a couple of cover versions, but at the moment it's only 27 Songs! I'll try to find something suitable in a while to (sort of) fill the gaps.

Read the book & listen to the songs.

[Alex_UK]

Thanks Chris - I shall get hold of the book as well, sounds interesting.

[The Grand Wazoo]

From the Amazon website:


'I decided that I wanted to write a little book of essays about songs I loved ... Songs are what I listen to, almost to the exclusion of everything else.'

In his first non-fiction work since Fever Pitch, Nick Hornby writes about 31 songs that either have some great significance in his life - or are just songs that he loves. He discusses, among other things, guitar solos and losing your virginity to a Rod Stewart song and singers whose teeth whistle and the sort of music you hear in Body Shop.

'The soundtrack to his life ... a revealing insight into one of Britain's most popular writers' Evening Standard

Here is my attempt to put together some music that actually song based

[Alex_UK]

I've not added to the AoS Playlists, but in case anyone is interested, Spotify themselves have done the 2011 Mercury Music Prize Nominated Albums (http://open.spotify.com/user/spotify/playlist/48QFLaLCKQTLIceKYuyHM7) - in case you fancy checking out this year's contenders. (Adele - 21 is missing, though, as not yet on Spotify although a couple of tracks from a single are included...)

[thedanfan]
