Today, at ALPL, we put out our new Books on MP3-CD collection. They are on display together right now, and will be interfiled with the regular Books on CD when they get older. They are well-labelled.
What’s the big deal? MP3 vs. WAV means fewer discs, lower cost, less things to damage or lose. You can play them in any PC, any DVD player, most new vehicles’ in-dash CD players, most newer portable CD players — and from your PC you could transfer files to your portable device INCLUDING THE iPOD.
Yes, the iPOD.
So, you don’t have a portable MP3 player to enjoy downloadable material from Overdrive on? Or copy stuff from an MP3 CD to? Borrow one from us.
We have EIGHT players at the reference desk for you to check out for three weeks, with renewal if nobody is waiting. they are Creative ZEN STONE models. Each bag includes the player, a USB cable, instructions and an adapter to play through cassette decks.
Our friends at TrueNorth Cultural Arts will be presenting The Creation by Joseph Haydn on Friday, March 14 at Avon Lake United Church of Christ and Saturday, March 15 at French Creek Nature Center, both at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at www.TNCArts.org or from any TrueNorth musician.
The world’s first electronic musical instrument is played by waving your hands in midair, as demonstrated by the device’s inventor, Leo Theremin. Looks easy, but the instrument is really hard to play (trust us, we have one in Discovery Works and you can try it yourself)….
On Monday, October 29th at 7:00 pm, Robert Wheeler will show us how its done right in our Gallery. Mr. Wheeler is a member of Cleveland’s legendary avante-garage band, Pere Ubu, and also has a farm in Milan, Ohio.
