D-59: Music is Ready
I don’t want to give all the secrets of our over-the-top out-clowning away on teh intarwebs, but tonight I rediscovered the value of having legacy machines hanging around. As some of you know, we will be able to amplify and play music from the car while on the track. I had a very old Rio Cali MP3 player to use for this (solid state and most importantly I don’t give a crap if it gets destroyed), but the problem is that there is no support for the 7-year old MP3 player in Windows 7.
But I have this ancient WinXP laptop sitting around and voila! Transfer the calliope music to that machine, load the software over there, and now we have circus favorites ready for playback from the car.
And for the trivia buffs amongst us, the classic “circus song” that you think of is called “Entrance of the Gladiators” and it was composed by Julius Fu?ík in 1904, based on his interest in the Roman Empire. Go figure.
