lappir Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 One of the surgeons I work with brings a speaker into the OR and leaves it there as long as he is working in that room. He plays music through his "Smart Phone" even when the phone isn't in the room. One of the younger Surgical Techs say's he is able to play through the Hospital Wifi. How is that possible?

Darryl&Rita Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) He's streaming music, via his phone, then Bluetooth to the speaker. Hard to guess what he's using to stream, but most assuredly using Bluetooth. Rereading the post, he may have a streaming speaker. Doesn't involve the phone.

etu Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 I hope I don't need a surgeon that is listening to music and starts playing the air guitar while yielding a scalpel!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was simple blue tooth, but then he walked out of the area and to a different location completely. Music still playing and it's coming from the phone. Someone turned the speaker down while he was gone and when he came back in he thought the battery had gone dead. Saw him open the app, but couldn't tell which one it was. Will ask someday. No Air guitar or drums allowed while scrubbed in.

Jinx & Wayne Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 We have an Amazon Music subscription. We get access to a zillion songs and run it through my phone to Bluetooth speakers. Because it is on the phone I can access it via WIFI or cell data. Outside we play it on a portable JBL speaker, inside on the Bose Soundbar, when traveling on the truck system (unless no cell coverage) and when walking or exercising on the headphones.

folivier Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Amazon prime subscription also gives you access to lots of music, although not as much as their extra $ service. I have this on my computers, tv through roku, and my phones. If you download your playlists you don't need cell or wifi on your phone to play music.

Darryl&Rita Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Talked to youngest son, he thinks it's probably something like a Sonos speaker. They have versions with WiFi built in, an app to control it for your phone. The speaker will play whatever playlist it's tuned to, until the battery runs out or the WiFi signal drops, without using the phone app. Quote I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

Will look it up in a bit. Thanks.

NamMedevac 70 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I hate to say it but both Amazon Music and Amazon Prime are winners for me. Lots and lots of free stuff for only 1.29 or 99 cents per song and only $100.00 per year for Prime movies. Don't ask me why I hate Amazon but a good deal is a good deal and their Amazon lockers are also very convenient for me. I wish they had more serious competition. Are you listening JB ???.

You still have the app on your phone, along with all that entails, but one less microphone in your life.

I think the scariest thing about the Amazon Music extra service is that it has an AI that designs playlists based on your listening. I cobbles together stuff that you play with similar things. The scary part is how often it is right. Quote Jinx and Wayne 2006 Carriage Carri-Lite 36KSQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
