Goodbye to another old and faithful product and time to try a new one

Yep, time to say goodbye to the Airport Express units which I've been using for so long - well one far longer than the other actually -. I bought my first Airport Express -first generation - in 2009 and the newer generation in 2013 and that's the latest and last Airport Express generation to be

Re: Goodbye to another old and faithful product and time to try a new one

Yes, that problem hit me fair and square when I removed my Airport Express but I found a way around it and I’m glad you mentioned this as I had intended to dedicate a post to this problem. All one has to do to stream Apple Music to a Chromecast is to use the Airfoil App, both Windows and Mac

Re: Goodbye to another old and faithful product and time to try a new one

Thanks for the tip. I haven't used airfoil in ages. I was a devoted airfoil user. Then airplay came along. And I migrated. But what about from your eye devices, such as phones or iPads? I guess there isn't an airfoil for the iPhone is there? I've never heard of it. Mary Sent from my iPhone >

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system

Absolutely right Mary, when you’ve positioned yourself in line with the speakers then they sound utterly gorgeous. I’ll take note of what you mentioned about powering the speakers down when not in use, I actually thought the speakers powered down themselves after a certain amount of time when

RE: The B MM1 Computer speaker system

Yes, the right speaker stays hot unless you turn it off. When I bought the MM1s, it stayed hot even when I turned off my PC. A B rep told me the setting to change so that it automatically turns off when I close down or reboot the computer. Unfortunately, I don't remember what that setting is

No Airfoil for iPhone or Android devices, just Airfoil Satellite - if you have a Windows Pc or Mac with Airfoil you can transmit to an IOS or Android device running Airfoil Satellite. > On 4 Jan 2017, at 3:50 pm, Mary Otten wrote: > > Thanks for the tip. I haven't used

The B MM1 Computer speaker system

And hello to the other list members I know who have this speaker system and I’m curious to know if you’ve found what I’ve found with this system. Firstly I knew what to expect - well I assumed I did - and for the most part I was right but there’s no doubt about it, the best place to listen to

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system

I would say that your observations fit pretty well with mine. The sweet spot for those speakers is definitely seated at your desk with the speakers properly positioned. Also, when not in use, turn them off. If you leave them on, that right speaker will get hot even if you're not using them

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system

Well, all I know is that I found that my right speaker was getting quite warm if I didn't turn them off. Now maybe that was because something was happening on my Mac, such as the sound when sa mail message comes through, so they were staying awake too much. In any case, I got into the habit of

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system

On a slightly different note, have you tried connecting anything through the aux-in jack? I’m told that the difference is quality when using an analogue source is noticeable though the person who told me this said that things didn’t sound too bad, just not as good as the direct digital link

Re: Goodbye to another old and faithful product and time to try a new one

Nice idea. But if you have a Mac and a bunch of music in the Apple cloud, it's not practical. You can't Chromecast anything from Apple unfortunately. Not that you can't use an Apple device with the Chromecast audio. It's just that you can't Chromecast anything from Apple Music or your Mac

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system

Guess I’ll have to see what happens here as my Mac is on pretty much 24/7 > On 4 Jan 2017, at 2:26 pm, Mary Otten wrote: > > Well, all I know is that I found that my right speaker was getting quite warm > if I didn't turn them off. Now maybe that was because something

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system

No, I never had any reason or much of anything to try to play through the analog Jack. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 3, 2017, at 7:48 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote: > > On a slightly different note, have you tried connecting anything through the > aux-in jack? I’m
