I have an ipod, and a laptop. All my music is in CD format (I always buy cds never download) then I put straight onto itunes. At the moment I listen to my music on my laptop but the speakers are crap. I want to be able to listen to my music on itunes but on decent speakers and perhaps move the speakers about when I have a party. So what options are available, wireless speakers that take signal from my laptop? Something that my ipod plugs into ?

If you want move it about I would proably suggest an portable sound system just for plugging your ipod into and just plug it in wherever.

Just one example, not recommending it the least mind.  I dont know which ones are good for the price.  Though I have seen this system before and sounded fine to me.

Have a look in Ilounge for reviews.

I should also add Im looking for something fairly decent. Certainly good enough to act as speakers for a party.

apple do wireless speakers.
dont know much about it though.

bose sounddock is the mutz nutz.

got one, hardly use it as I tend to leave my pod in the car

Personally I would get a reasonable amp and a pair of speakers, then plug in your lappy and listening pleasure will be yours.

While some docks, like the Bose, have reasonable speakers they are very expensive for what they are and generally dont have the separation between the speakers for true sterio to be noticed.

Nige always said bose is sh*t. I kinda thought he was right. So who is right ?

I thought about getting proper speakers but Im not keen on  having to trail wires to my laptop all the time. Perhaps I can get some wireless broadcast device?

Their normal stuff isnt good, the dock isnt bad but I would still go for separates. Save money or better quality sound.

Sort of in this area:

is supposedly the mutts nuts.

Stores all your music on a NAS so no need for the laptop to be on if thats of any use.

Not cheap though.  :?

what about one of those Ipod things for the car ?

dont really know much about them... a clip on thing for your Ipod that transmits the output on a selected FM frequency... then you just tune your HiFi into that frequency ?

They are sh*t.  They just made a good system with that all in one dock.

Go to your local curries/hifi store etc and take your ipod with you, they are usually out on display.

There is no curries in the usa.
