I think buying a cheap CD player and checking out the CD selection at our local library is probably what I'll do. But even CDs seem to be going to the way of the dinosaurs. My laptop doesn't even have a CD drive anymore. It's crazy to think about how quickly technology has advanced, and yet I don't think it's always for the better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-musicaudio-ideas#post-2718204 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:09:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2718204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking something like this with an iPod shuffle:</p> <p><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Accessory-Power-GG-PAL-GOgroove-Groove-Pal-Jr.-Portable-Media-Speaker-Tiger/26609307" rel="nofollow">https://www.walmart.com/ip/Accessory-Power-GG-PAL-GOgroove-Groove-Pal-Jr.-Portable-Media-Speaker-Tiger/26609307</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-musicaudio-ideas#post-2718202 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:07:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2718202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have my old iPod that we filled with classical music that we have connected to a very old iPod speaker. It was one that I had gotten for free from somewhere...but it's not any specific brand name. So we have a super old generation iPod hooked up to it that shuffles the songs and plays pretty much all night for LO2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-musicaudio-ideas#post-2718093 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 21:03:51 +0000 jhd 2718093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely check out the collection at your library and get an inexpensive CD player. I listened to books on cassette tape for years and years growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-musicaudio-ideas#post-2718092 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 20:59:31 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2718092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh good question! I'm following. I fell asleep to stories on tape for years and loved them (I was 9-13) at the time though. LOTR, folk tales, fairy tales, etc. </p> <p>The cd stories make sense. You could buy on iTunes and burn to cds if iTunes sells stories on cds. Libraries have them to borrow too usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-musicaudio-ideas#post-2718091 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 20:44:39 +0000 Anya 2718091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell asleep listening to the cassette player too :happy:<br /> I agree with @bookwormmama: you just need CDs instead of cassettes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-musicaudio-ideas#post-2718090 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 20:42:17 +0000 bookwormmama 2718090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My libraries have lots of kids' music CDs and books on CD. My son and I regularly check out children's and other music CDs for the car (he's currently on a Beatles kick thanks to Beat Bugs in Netflix). Just a quick search on Amazon provides tons of CD players under $25. Would that be an option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nighttime-musicaudio-ideas#post-2718074 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 19:55:20 +0000 StellaJane 2718074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, help me out mamas... when I was a kid my mom had an inexpensive cassette player in my room and every night she'd play a tape for me as I fell asleep. The tapes were just songs and books on tape that she'd check out from the local library. What is today's equivalent of that??? Technology was supposed to make life easier, but I don't feel like sticking the expensive Bose wireless player in my son's room and monkeying around with trying to find audio tracks on Spotify or iTunes. I'm nostalgic for the days when you could just pop in a tape and hit play. I'd love any suggestions for a simple nighttime music/audio routine! Anyone? :) </p>
