Dear Sedonia,

I carry an Ipod mini when we have performances with recorded music as a backup to a cd. You can just run a jack from it to the sound system and it works great. Just remember to pick it up when you're done!

If you record your music onto cd I suggest using Itunes because it seems to be the new standard. I remember being at a show where a dancers first two songs on her cd played but the last one wouldn't. I think it might have been a different file format which some of the older cd players could not read or it might have been something as simple as the sound man screwing up and then playing dumb!

It's always best when you take control by bringing your own music and boombox though. Nothing is as frustrating as having your music screw up, especially if someone screws it up for you!

Take care, Rick
