Please, no. How about headphones?
- eugenejen 17y agoOne of my old startups in 2003, we made one of music system from spare parts and one guy wrote an web base controlling daemon for it. Then we contributed our collection of CDs. We can use web interface to control the system and up/down or veto the music. And we also have an anthem around 4pm. (The whole Coffin for Head of State by Fela Kuti). It becomes like a ritual. It creates a bond among people because we know what music that each of us likes. We did not play pop charts or technos, but more like Jazz, Punk, Art Rock and any fun but not mainstream popular songs. We have almost 128 GBs of mp3 after 3 years. That was one heck of good memory than listening through headphone.

- tdavis 17y agoI work out of a co-working space here in Boston that has Airtunes hooked up. I like it. Sometimes people are on the phone or playing something I don't particularly like so I throw on headphones. Other times it's nice to remove myself from the headphone bubble and interact with the world a bit more. I'm pretty much guaranteed to miss out on any interesting conversations when wearing headphones.
