Speakers up front?

or can anyone with a decent playlist and some nice speakers provide a plesent atmosphere for the gang?

It's not the best player, but it does work, and I think it'd be really cool at the party.

Send me the link and I'll see what I can do.

As for permissions to a folder, at tango, we discourage the usage of computer browsing. Instead, we have put much effort into hosting FTP sites. This practice better optimizes network bandwidth and eliminates problems with security across multiple platforms.

Also, along the same lines, we are planning to host an MP3 FTP site at the next party. It'll start with around 20Gb already on it. We will have a 70Gb drive dedicated to MP3's.

This program is no longer supported by the author, and it's pretty old. It runs under DOS, so that's why no Win2k. I can e-mail the program to you if you want, but there's no website anymore.

Post here and let me know if you want me to e-mail it to you. I can do that tonight when I get home from work...

The program doesn't have to have a "shared" folder via file sharing, per se, just a folder full of mp3's to play. The program deletes the files as they are played. You could just give upload rights to some directory on the ftp server and it would work, I'm sure.

I located a command line mp3 player last night, which could be used for the same purpose, if somebody has a little batch file or PERL programming skillz. I'd do it myself, but I doubt I'll have the time before Saturday.

Anyway, let me know if you want me to e-mail it to you.

Theres just something about live djs that make an event really shine....ya know what I mean?

Plus, open tables would be a nice kick for those of us that know what to do with those damned things.

Dookiebot,
If you would like to do live DJ-ing, contact Dune at dune@tangolan.com . I am in charge of Network Services. Dune is Event Coordinator. My only concern is space. Dune and Neghvar have re-designed the floor plan to allow for maximum attendance. I have not seen the plans as yet.

I'll mail it to you tonight (probably later tonight after the Orange bowl game, watching it at a friend's place so I won't be home till then...).

The problem is not the command line app itself, it is the mp3 playing app which has a sound config which seems to hang under win2k. Like I said, it's an old DOS app and it's trying to configure i/o address, irq, dma channel etc. for the sound card from a DOS box so I'm not surprised it won't work in win2k. Anyway, I'll e-mail it to ya with instructions tonight.

seems not alot of people like drum n bass or house much anymore...

oh well.

No way we r trying to turn it into a club. I doubt anyone will be doing any dancing.

Plus I think techno and gaming goes hand in hand. Think about every game soundtrack. More than half of them are techno, there is a large group of electronic/grunge hybrids also. I can't think of any games they have a Britney Spears or Garth Brooks sound to them.

But it's no biggie. Dune has said that the mp3's playing in the background is enough so that's how it is going to be.

Nah...not how I pictured it at all....I would draw the line at a live dj...no lights.

Its just that sometimes live djs make better music than a computer with a playlist.

Have fun in Florida?

are those the ones you have?

expencive little monkies aren't they?
hmm....guess I'll have to go rob a bank after all.

I'm trying to find a decent set to get started...what would you reccomend?

If they're convient to bring, go ahead. Dune reminded me that the room we rent has a sound system built in. We're going to see what we can do to jack straight into that.

I got a good deal on mine. I got the 2 turn tables, the coffin, and mixer for $950.

I also have 2 Altec Lansing Voice of the Theatre speakers which stand about 5 feet tall with 15 inch woofers and tweeter horns that rest on top of the speaker. Those things RULE. They are loud and accurate in replicating the sound from the records.

As far a turntable for you. My only advice is to not get a belt driven turntable because the friction from the belt will cause the speed of the record to fluxuate a bit and it will be near impossible to keep two songs in sync for a long period of time.

Technics 1200 is what 99.9% of all dj use though because the company has been around forever and man those things never break down but they cost you out the butt.

'tis an expencive hobby...

and If I ever get enough money together I will be unstoppable...

Actually DJ, you were sitting next to Paranoia at the event. If they woulda let him use his speakers then a computer with a playlist can actually get pretty badass. But alas, his speakers sucked to much power and Scooby talked him out of using them §Þ. hehehe.. I told him not to bring em

In the past, we have had systems set up. Unfortunately, as we grow larger, power becomes more an issue. Last time, we used every bit of power avalible on the west end of the building (Or so they tell us. I don't believe them) If it were not for that reason, I would have welcomed their use. Thanks for bringin' them even if we didn't get to use them.

and Mordi...

below our posts is a little thing that says "quote"....I think you can take it from there...its all using UBB code which is fairly easy

Now, if only i could get dune to enable the [ img ] tag...

heh...I'll smack him down.

Fun. Are we talking game wise or physically??
Personally I'm up for both.
