My first MP3 player was a Neo 35, just because I couldn't afford an Empeg. In short: it sucked. After a couple of months I sold it, bit the bullet and bought the player I REALLY wanted. smile

I even believe I've met Bruno at a forum called funmp3players.com at that time, and also persuaded him to buy an Empeg, effectively pointing him to this forum. Am I right Bruno?

Curioualy, at my end of the radio waves, I record his show on a 10 1/2 in. reel to reel tape and listen to it in the week, although I don't keep an archive, I record the next show over it each week.


I still love my old minidisc player, and my lead singer has one as a backup for his laptop (runs Cubase on stage - instead of a drummer) just in case.

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that my original car computer was partially inspired by this guy that we all know and love.

In fact, my second (or third?) car computer was an Advantech SBC because I was so impressed with his. Of course I had a full 8.4" SVGA active matrix lcd with mine driven by the onboard lcd controller...booyah!

Also inspired by this guy and a couple others (while I'm taking the trip down memory lane).

Blinking nora boxer, that's a bit extreme isn't it?

I seem to think we did all this sometime ago: Just watching the reels go round is therapeutic.
I probably listen to about half an hour of a 2 hour show each day whilst I'm checking emails and reading the papers and snail mail, it just seems very convenient to go right from where I started on the tape, with one click, without involving a PC or a Squeezebox.
Anyway, it's in limbo at the moment, as it stopped dead a week or so back: The Revox specialist lives outside Ipswich and I don't fancy the drive. This may be the point that I pack it in, especially as I can now get the show on BBCiplayer anytime for a week after.

N.B. I should point out that I didn't get it just to time shift broadcasts, I got it to record my guitar playing, but a problem and subsequent operation on my left hand put paid to that.
