Professional MP3/WAV/AIFF players - do they exist?
"Colin MacDougall" wrote in message . uk... Hi everyone, Bit of advice if such a thing is available but currently I am on the lookout for a professional type solid state player that can play either MP3 or WAV or AIFF or all three. I'm involved with a theatre group and at the moment we use a high end MiniDisc player to provide music and sound effects for the shows. Our particular MiniDisc player is quite old now and has recently become a bit erratic - hence the need to replace it. Ideally I would be looking for something that will fit in a 19" rack and have a big clear display and big chunky buttons and switches; when we're running a show the sound desk is dimly lit so the little fiddly ipod and other such players would be no use. We'd like to transfer the music in to the device using something like a USB memory stick or one of the many memory card formats that are now available. We've sometime use a CD player but the MiniDisc seems quicker at cueing so any solid state replacement would have to be just as quick. Do any manufacturers make such a thing? - I've Googled for one, but without success. TIA, Colin Hello mate, I use a Denon DN-D4500 that plays Wav/MP3's at the club I work at. It seems to have all the things you want. http://www.denondj.com/prodview_item.asp?pid=55&cid=1 Andy |

PING Tim Scott Professional MP3/WAV/AIFF players - do they exist?

I've never seen one (although I have seen rackmounted mpeg players that may do it - I'll let Tim Scott fill you in on that one) but never a solid state MP3 player. You are probably better off sticking with minidisc, getting an IPOD type thingy or using a laptop. Phildo |

You are probably better off sticking with minidisc, getting an IPOD type thingy or using a laptop. I have two mpeg 4 video players - not really what you are wanting though. You can get DVD (home/hifi) players that have memory card slots, that will do what you want - most hifi units are 19" and fit nicely into a 2U rack tray kit. |

If you need more light for the keyboard just get a USB-powered light-on-a-gooseneck. You can rackmount a laptop with kits available on the web. -- Splat |

USB-powered light-on-a-gooseneck. You can rackmount a laptop with kits available on the web. If using a laptop, I can suggest using Jazler Show available here... http://www.jazler.com/demo/ We use if for jingles and adverts on our local community radio station. It's stable and easy to set up. Rv! |
