Re: Speaking of batterys?

Given the battery is a lithium-ion battery it would be pretty standard there. The problem is the molding on the battery to fit the Victor Reader shell. You could try and get cheaper batteries but where these type of batteries are concerned you could be inviting absolute disaster. I'm sure

Re: SV: The evolution of Spotify

Yes point taken as the Spotify App for Windows - as far as I know - isn't accessible. I don't like having to sit at my computer listening to radio , given that I didn't take the accessibility of the Windows nor the Mac App into account. I've not tried the Android App as yet but it would

Speaking of batterys?

Hi folks, Well has someone found a cheeper alternative to the battery in a Victor Reader first generation? I believe it's some sort of a standard battery as it's quite expensive to get a such manufactured just for the sake of monopoly. Grin Best regards Brian

Always interested to hear about that sort of thing given one of my favourite hobbies is streaming audio/video about the house. There are dozens of similar devices about the place, I saw something similar to what you described, the dongle plugs into the USB port as yours does and from there it

Re: The evolution of Spotify

That's the topic I'm thinking about yes. I've listened to "Soft Rock" in the background on Spotify for 3 hours this morning and not one repeat, wish I could say the same for Radiotunes. The quality is slightly better with Spotify, not as processed sound but both are very good. I'm subscribed

Re: Desktop computer speakers

Hi there If I may just put my pence worth in here and mention a wireless solution that I have used for a year or two now and it is a USB digital audio sender from Lyndy Electronics, excuse the spelling since it has been a while. The USB dongle plugs in to any available port and the receiver

Re: The evolution of Spotify

Hi Jane, I know you are a RadioTunes subscriber. Are you considering dumping that in favor of Spotify? My brief look at Spotify recently let me to believe that RadioTunes was going to offer a greater variety of "radio stations" such as several classical and several smooth jazz. It look like

That's true it doesn't so you have a clear choice, go vintage and try to integrate the modern standards or just use modern equipment which integrates. On 22/08/2016 6:22 AM, Byron Stephens wrote: That doesn't help someone who wants to go the other way and go vintage and use a system like

I think one of the greatest advances for connecting AVR equipment to a computer is probably one of the simplist to understand for the average user and that's the HDMI connection, say connect your computer to a HDMI input on your modern-day AVR equipment, choose the HDMI output from your

Hi! If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform in a good while - and you like your music just the way you want it and not how your local radio station wants it - then take a good look at the modern Spotify. I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it
