Yeah, you're probably right :) I was going to use my personal player,
but the screen is quite small. I could probably get one of the $20 ones
with a bigger screen.
Do you know if any of these support single file play? I fudged this on
my older player by creating a play list with "silent" files after every
track, but seems to be kludgy way to do things.

If you really want to play from a small mobile device, try to get hold of a
minidisc player. At least they can work without compression.

IPods have pretty reasonable sound quality. At least for playing back
samples. The ipod touch would work. However getting a playback app that
does exactly what you want may cost some bucks and someone will no doubt
try to steal the device also.
So basically take your big heavy sampler. At least no one will try to
steal it and if beer gets spilt on it then you have less chance of
breakage. Plus it makes you look retro cool and profeshional ;-)

Well, not only that ... but someone might want me to play "happy
birthday" ... and as long as the lights are on and I have chart, I can
do that for an additional tip :)

How about something like a Zoom H2? They can do up to 96ksps @ 24 bits,
although I'm not sure how much you can get on an SD card at that rate.
The H2 is a) small and b) can run off external power (including USB) so
you don't need to worry about batteries.
I have no idea how good the audio output is on these though; I only have
headphones so can't test mine through a PA or anything.
Cheers

I've got a Zoom H4. I'll have to check the sound quality for output when
I get a chance. One can get quite a bit on even a 2gig card ... but the
problem is that the playback interface and the little screen make it not
a lot of fun on a stage.

New subject: LAM Mix 2008: torrent available
Hi,
I noticed the http download was quite unstable from my server and I don't
have anonymous ftp so I have made a torrent that might be of use.
http://djcj.org/audio/lam/
If anyone knows how to make a http-seed torrent that points to the file on
my server so I can turn my home computer off I will post that too.
Cheers.

Is it one track? If so, why? Isn't more easy to have separated tracks?

Good point.
I'll upload the originals on Monday.
But the mix is supposed to be a DJ mix so I will keep the long player
format too.
- I'm listening to the mix on my stereo now and there are definitely level
issues that I need to fix.
- One thing I notice though is the regions of the world that are
represented. There are tracks from Europe,North/South America, but nothing
from Asia or Africa.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought we had active contributors from every
corner of the globe. So where are the tracks?
Cheers

Well, last night I did some tests and played timidity created
backgrounds though the PA using my laptop's internal card and on a
IRiver H120 player.
Both sounded "muddy" compared to the same track playing on my desktop.
Soundcards do make a difference.
I think the Iriver actually sounded better than the laptop.
I tested with both mp3 and wav and really couldn't tell the difference.
But, the diffs might be getting swallowed by the sound card, etc.
So, I'm going to put the tracks on the iriver and take them for "just in
case"; but I'll be using the real hardware. What the heck, I've got a
shitload of stuff to haul no matter what I do.
As to the beer and theft ... being a saxophone player I like to think I
have a better audience than that :) Maybe champagne? :)
