Select audio tracks more easily

I teach middle school. I have a collection of songs and WAV sound files. I want to play sounds at appropriate times during class. This is solely for effect. Kids like it, because it makes lessons less monotonous. So, I’m in the market for a CD player or MP3 player. It must have a remote control that lets me select a track by number. The remotes I’ve seen require scrolling through a list. Or, you use the forward button to select tracks. This takes too much time.

You’re probably out of luck with MP3 players. I’ve never seen one that lets you select tracks by number.

However, most CD players don’t display track information. So, we rely on track numbers to identify songs.

CD player remotes let you skip tracks by hitting a button. You’ll also find CD player remotes that have number buttons. You can use these to enter a track number. This is what you want.

I would look at boomboxes. Many CD boomboxes have a remote that suits your needs. You’ll probably spend $50 to $100.

Unfortunately, researching boombox remotes online isn’t easy. So, do it in person. It shouldn’t be difficult.

If you really prefer an MP3 player, there is a workaround. Some Bluetooth gadgets turn an MP3 player into a remote.

You connect the gadget to your MP3 player. Some connect only to an iPod using its dock connection. Others work with any MP3 player. They connect to the headphone jack.

The gadgets stream audio to a receiver that connects to speakers. Ones designed for iPods may connect to the speakers’ iPod dock. Others use the speakers’ auxiliary input.

You can select tracks using the MP3 player’s controls. Depending on your MP3 player, this may or may not be fast. But at least you can see what you’re selecting.

To learn more about Bluetooth streaming, read my column. It covers specific gadgets that connect to MP3 players.

Of course, Bluetooth streaming is a rather expensive solution. You’ll probably pay more than $100 for the Bluetooth transmitter and receiver. It also requires an MP3 player and speakers.
