Linksys Wireless-B Music System for $30

The Linksys Wireless-B Music System is only $30 right now at MCM electronics. It's normally almost $100, and while it's not the best looking thing on the planet it has some nice features.

It's self-contained, the player section can be disconnected from the speakers and connected either by analog or digital output to another system, it works with wired or wireless networks, and supports WEP. There's a remote and pretty nice display for playing back and sorting through your available network music.

I works with Rhapsody and MusicMatch, it does a whole lot of things. I saw it at bestBuy for a while and I always though $100 was just a little too much. $30 though? I can swing that.

Here is the PDF manual if you're really interested in all this thing can do.

MP3 SD Clock Radio for $25

This MP3 Player Alarm Clock with SD Card Reader actually looks kind of appealing to me. With SD cards so cheap, I've preferred keeping my music on a card and moving it from place to place instead of having docks and a player in my car, bedroom, and in my pocket.

This clock has an alarm as well as temperature display, a USB port both for power and for the SD card. It also has the nice touch of voice alarm and temperature alerts. I'm sure the voice is fantastic.

Anyway for the folks that keep their music on SD...

Behringer USB Guitar Under $100 Delivered

The Behringer iAXE393 USB Electric Guitar seems pretty interesting for $99.99 delivered.

Behringer makes pretty nice audio equipment, but I imagine this is probably their first guitar. Even so, it's inexpensive, and plugs directly into a USB port for recording. It works with either PC or Mac, it has a headphone jack to listen in, and just looks like something I'd buy and leave in the corner of my office for a decade.

I can't wait to order.

Gadget Garbage into Christmas Miracles

A sad by-product of liking gadgets is that you end up with a lot of useless junk. You can only listen to maybe a half a dozen mp3 players at once, you most likely won't use half of the wireless accessories you buy, and mobile PCs just aren't fun for me to use.

So it's time to turn this junk-pile into Christmas presents, or at least something I might use.

Here's a list of what I've got to do something with:

SoniqCast Aireo
Sonic Impact T-Amp
Dell Axim X30 or something
Sony PEG-S300
Jornada 680e
3Com Audrey
Mac Classic SE
Virgin Boomtube and other speakers
Power supplies and computer chassis
Assorted flash MP3 players out the wazoo
Headphones, headsets, and ear buds
Hard drives, flash memory, etc.

So my first idea is to use the T-Amp for a nice little speaker system for my bedroom audio system. I'll use the T-Amp, some old Advent ICT 4.0i 4" speakers, a computer power supply, and hopefully a nice looking box. I'm hoping to end up with a nice, single-box amplifier/speaker system with a mini-input for my Rio Karma or whatever other player I'd like to plug in.

I'll see how it goes, but if you see anythingpromising in that pile, give me comment on it. I'm eyeing that Mac Classic for something special but I don't know what, maybe install Linux on the 680e for PHP work, and turn that Axim into a server or something.

We'll see, I will probably end up with more garbage and less working gadgets than before.

Not Bad Retro Radio Under $30 Delivered

The Emerson(!) NR31 Table Radio is simply not bad for the price, around $30 delivered.

In fact, I bought one. I know, it's an Emerson not a Tivoli. But it really doesn't look terrible, it has an auxiliary in and an additional speaker, and again, it's cheap.

I got it here, and even better, it's not cheaply made. It's heavy, it looks OK, has a nice power cord (no wall wart) and decent speaker. And the knobs work nicely, the tuner moves very slowly for decent accuracy.

The stereo speaker graph art is a little cheesy, but I'm pretty happy with this thing on my headboard.
