The guy I bought it from specializes in re-habbing these old jukeboxes for home use and installed a BlueTooth receiver inside it. However, because of the way it was made, you have to play a "silent track" in order for the amplifier to work. One of the wrinkles of combining old technology with new technology I guess (and using the juke box in a way the designers could never had intended).<br /><br />Your track is perfect because I can select it from the jukebox, then play whatever I want over my BlueTooth connection. When I tire of listening to source from my phone or tablet, I press the button on the back of the juke box to skip the rest of the hour-long track and return to tunes on the Juke Box. I can also program the juke box never to select the silent track (CD) as part of the regular shuffling of the songs on the juke box.<br /><br />Big explanation, but your files are useful in more ways that you might have imagined!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202769137574654989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10811201.post-46827227380663328932019-08-22T04:01:46.333+02:002019-08-22T04:01:46.333+02:00Could you possibly do a remix of these classic per...Could you possibly do a remix of these classic performances of silence ?<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4′33″<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4′33″#4′33″_No._2<br />Lossless version if possible so none of the nothing is not lost.Dr.Flayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577165945575605206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10811201.post-27418460826212396862017-03-30T09:45:53.783+02:002017-03-30T09:45:53.783+02:00Děkuji za dobrý nápad.

In those cars, especially Dodge and Chrysler cars, the turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps or Waze on my phone get cut off or for short directions, it doesn't read out the directions at all, unless I play some music while running Maps or Waze. There are times I don't want to listen to music but still want to listen to the directions, so playing one of the silent MP3s did the trick and enabled me to get every single direction from Maps or Waze! #winning Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10811201.post-72141422753851323052017-02-19T06:19:24.975+01:002017-02-19T06:19:24.975+01:00Thank you. i was doing an experiment with ffmpeg a...Thank you. i was doing an experiment with ffmpeg and needed audio to keep the stream alive for some reason, and the sample i had was christmas music that had become annoying.

I usually like to use Rhapsody so if I take a call over my bluetooth it stops the music on Rhapsody but still plays whatever mp3 is listed first on my phone. If I delete all of the mp3's Rhapsody won't play, besides there are certain songs on itunes that Rhapsody doesn't have. All I had to do was change the file name so the silent track is first.
