Recently... I gave a keynote to kick off a conference.
A speaker who was doing a break out later in the day approached me afterwards. She saw how I'd played specific songs at specific times of my presentation... but that the music was playing independently from my slides on my laptop.
She said, "It was great... because I saw you picking different songs for different segments... so you could use one song for when people are working at their tables... and another song for when people were moving around the room doing one of your activities... but you didn't have to mess with your computer or your slides! I loved it... and I wanted to know how you did it!"
So... I showed her that I had a 5th generation ipod set up with an independent jack connected to the event center's sound system.
That way I could have MY music at my finger tips!
It's sooooo simple... but it gives me more control and creates less stress!
Now... apparently... Apple has stopped making the ipod so you may still find a new one at Apple stores and it sounds like Target still sell them. Or Amazon has refurbished ones. (Here's an example: https://amzn.to/3HKzk1V)
You can sure use your phone... but there's nothing worse that getting a call or a text and having your ring tone play over the PA!
Or... you can turn on your phone's airplane mode... but then your phone is tethered to the podium. So... if you want to take a selfie with the audience... OR take some photos of audience members diving into your content... you can't do it!
Yup... that's why I like this hack!
It's simple but powerful!
It's truly something I wish I'd known about sooner... so that is why I want to share it with you here!
I hope it helps!
