boyst Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I have two offices; I spend a majority of my time in one office specifically. Neither gets good reception and only one station comes in and it is a pop station. It was this week that I decided suicide is not such a bad thing when you are able to sing Justin Beibers news song. Being that many, many women would miss me I need an option. I have Verizon with an unlimited data contract still (yes, they're charging me $20 extra for that thing) and can use foxfi to stream to my tablet for Pandora or Google but that is a hassle. So, does anyone have any good ideas? No wifi available for streaming music or such things (heck I am not even sure it reaches the back office) Verizon with unlimited data and a hotspot. Willing to spend $100 if it is good stuff (bluetooth speaker or something) Not wanting to use my phone for music playing, though, potentially using it as Bluetooth. I have two Sirius Satellite Stilletos that record Sirius with a battery and an aux output. I also have an extra dock unit that has an FM modulator I can use to go over the radio. I don't want to haul the unit back and forth. It can record 100 hours of music from regular channels if left on those. Does anyone have any ideas?

I know you said you were adverse to that? You did say you get bad signal, right? Next Radio? Verizon does seem to buck the norm with a lot of their devices though... Then there is the signal strength thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Buy a big enough bluetooth speaker for the room and stream the VZ phone to the speaker. Ditch Pandora and start listening to Spotify or Songza. And why can't you put the Stilettos in a spot where they pickup the satellite signal? Then just hook it up to the bluetooth speaker with the 3.5mm plug & cord. Edited November 20, 2015 by GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Buy a mini micro SD card and add a bunch of mp3s to the card and a card reader to attach to the phone and then blue tooth the phone to your speaker system or buy a mini micro SD card speaker system.

They had some promotion with Sprint and there are a ton of them out there. I got one for cheap and it sounds amazing. Spotify costs me 8 bucks a month...money well spent.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I remember my old job my office was my large training room. I brought in my radio from home and had WGR550 on when I was doing my work alone. It was awesome CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I remember my old job my office was my large training room. I brought in my radio from home and had WGR550 on when I was doing my work alone. It was awesome CBF @ our control houses @ work... We have clock radios. Sometimes you have to jiggle the volume button to get them to work... Other times the AM-FM switch that is getting loose... Still other times you have to move the radio away from interference, or adjust the power cord since the power cord doubles as the antenna, to get better reception. So in conclusion, If I was Boyst (dear Lord thankfully I am NOT!), I would go the radio route because radio is a sound salvation, radio is cleaning up the nation. With that, they say you better listen to the voice of reason. But be very careful when listening to radio because they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. That's because the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel. Knowing all that, just be careful all you radio fans out there!

boyst Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 An "office" without a computer is a toilet room. What the hell work do you do? its a leading furniture manufactoring company, one you've likely never heard of that's about 200 yrs old. I don't want a PC or a phone in the office I have. Sadly, though, I'll have a PC again next month. Sirius app for your phone, listen to that with your unlimited data plan trying not to pay for Sirius. I download stern for free every day on tpd Spotify and a blue tooth speaker. You can get a good deal on Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio speakers right now on EBay. They had some promotion with Sprint and there are a ton of them out there. I got one for cheap and it sounds amazing. Spotify costs me 8 bucks a month...money well spent.I'll look in to them. Thanks. I get 6mb down. 3 up with my foxfi on my phone to link tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Huh? Call it a wash... You get grandfathered data w/Verizon but don't want to bust the bank w/a 10 buck a month SiriusXm internet subscription? Aren't you the one that bought a lifetime subscription w/Sirius back in their infancy? This is why this country is going to hell in a hand basket. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
