Gandy Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 just got 8tracks, a music/radio station that's like a hybrid of spotify and Pandora, really digging it as all the playlists are made by people/humans, and you can search by nearly any tag you want eg. feel good, workout, road trip etc etc.gonna update my first post today to include all my apps for easier reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Will look into that tonight, need a good radio app to go with my most recent purchase:Got a pioneer wireless speaker. Can send audio using DLNA to the speaker wirelessly from within audio applications on the surface Also works from iPhone, computer etc. via airplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 dafuq that looks dope as, let me know how loud/quality is, at the moment I just have my laptop running through one of my tvs and using the hdmi audio, its ok, but if that is half decent ill look at getting one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the exact same one.Mitch - can you do a writeup on how you're configuring all the playing options? Perhaps it's time I started using iTunes on my desktop/laptop to able to do this, but having the ability to transfer the sound to this speaker from my desktop has the potential to be fucking awesome. I think it's time I upgraded my WiFi at home too. Currently have mine set up in the I am a fagget - beats while doing house duties is good.Gandy - Recommended man, really good piece of kit.

Mitch Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Join speaker to your home wifi if you haven't already. Name speaker something more readable than default name(can redownload manual from Internet if you lost it)Speaker shows up under airplay options in iTunes, as well as the play to options under devices menu in windows 8. Will go into more detail when I get home if needed. Gandy, speaker is pretty decent for its size. You can also go next model up which has subwoofer in, for a bit more punch. It also has 3.5mm in, so I can use it as an external speaker for my tv as well. O and USB if you wanna directly plug an iPod in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Can the surface pro do exe's? Been thinking of buying a convertible laptop to use mostly for media streaming and internet's. But also want one capable of running Traktor (and S4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 For the pro, yes. Runs an intel core processor, and has windows 8 pro OS. Same capabilities as a laptop/desktop.However you'd probably want an external monitor if you're going to be running traktor. Would be a bit hard to view the interface properly on the 10" screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatLeSS Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Monies have been transferred for the launch tomorrow. Getting giddy with excitement.Trying to nail down whether I'd need the 64gb over the 32gb. Any thoughts to this? I think with a giant microSD card I should be fine with the 32gb model?Also, need an accessory check;Surface 2 RT.Type Cover.Biggest MicroSD card.Ext Wty.Anything else I should be getting?

Gandy Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Just make sure you get the good keyboard not the shitty colourful ones32gb with microsd is more then enough, specially with skydive and I steam all my music anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatLeSS Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Just make sure you get the good keyboard not the shitty colourful onesWhat do you mean? The new Type Cover comes in 4 different colours, is there another one that I should be aware about? I've decided against the Touch Cover due to bad reviews, but 1000+ sensors compared to 80 from the original seems like it could change a few things. Though I'll stick to what I know as I want the keyboard for functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandy Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 only thing to be careful of is knowing how much of the actual space is taken up by the OS, I cant remember off the top of my head but I know its a fair chunk but again, with an expansion micro SD its no issue and I think mitch has the 32gig one as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I bought a 32GB microSD card pretty cheap, and just did a bit of rejigging in the backend (nohomo) so it is a part of the windows 8 libraries & everything saves to it by default.Not that i would have filled up the internal storage anyway, just OCD on file storage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
