--> i got this little machine link as a gift from germany and plugged it right into my setup. you switch it on, and it starts playing music. little meditative loops in fact, that might me stored somewhere on a chip inside. a button on the side is to change to the next loop. so, instead of an expensive mp3 player, just take this 10 USD gadget to listen to the same drowsy sounds sometimes called "lounge music"...reduced to the essentials...

I'm sorry but i cant take you seriously after you saying, " that might be stored somewhere on a chip inside" when you have the innards diagram as the blogPic there and can see, in full plain sight, that its obviously not. ;)

seriously! as you can see there is a miniature buddha inside running the thing. that's where the sound comes from.

ahaha - in that case, i might well throw away my mp3 player as i assume the little buddhas will do requests!?

once you have freed yourself from Samsara then you will not actually want to request anything.

i've got one too, love it! there was a good period where i would carry it around like an ipod too - i may start that up again, though i started to get sick of the loops after a few weeks.

mine just stays in the bedroom. i tried taking it with me on a walk once but it seemed odd to have those sounds over the swooshing wind sounds and rustling leaves :-/
