In my testing, the Remote signal does not seem to be necessary at least for tokenized BASIC, CO, and DO files. I'd guess on-demand loading data the laptop has to process would be different. I haven't experimented with that.
The main thing to fiddle with is that you need a reliable process for creating and playing back the audio files at a gain/attenuation that works reliably for your peripherals. I've been able to get reliable results for creating audio files using both Audacity and a TASCAM DR-05. I've been able to playback from an iPhone, PC running Audacity, and the TASCAM DR-05. One issue with using a smart phone is being careful not to shuffle play the files while driving in your car. HELLO.BA playing over a stereo system can create a panic situation. -- John.
