I just thought of an idea I would love to see at shows. Manufacturers may not like it, but here it goes: a large touchscreen at the door where people can add songs to the queue and wait to hear their songs. I would listen to way more stuff for way longer if this was in place. 

 

Yes, I have been pondering with the exact same idea. But at the time I thought of it back at the time and prior to a show, there wasn't enough time left to make such a feature.

And thinking of it ... while we "digitus'" would be able to even automate it, LP exhibitors would have a slightly large problem; especially in preparing (what's their library ?).

 

In practice it will bring a couple of more problems because in the end this is what I did with a show a few weeks back, but at inviting the auditioners. For example, you need to know your turn (say in 32 minutes) but meanwhile nothing can interfere much or you are waiting for another 30 minutes for your Pearl Jam, while Beethoven and Mozart play (never together though ). In the end this gets messy because if you have to wait too long you want to bail out (or just don't show up).

Anyway, this really needs an "application" and it won't be super simple.

Eggleston - surprised to learn this is a Memphis, TN company.  Very good sound.

 

You guys should be able to run into each other by tracking where you are by means of the photos.

Anyone know if this analog display actually moves like a watch counting down the time remaining on a track?

 

You asked and they did not know ?

From Stereophile :

 

When a CD is spinning the analog dial's needle position indicates the time remaining (like a clock hand) and slowly rotates as the disc plays. When using the DAC for an external digital source, the needle points to the sample rate. Ingenious and beautiful and available now.

I suppose you know that this is from 2012 ? Or maybe it is a newer version ?
