Octavio in Top 8 Gifts for Zuners

Harvey Chute of Zunerama just named the Octavio one of the best zune-related gifts available. If I didn’t already have speaker systems lying around the house everywhere I reckon I’d be pretty pumped if my parents got me an Octavio. I don’t even own a zune or iPod (though I sometimes borrow my dad’s) but it would still be pretty convenient running off a CD player or computer (like Jamie does) and would be a treat to take out at parties.

If I ever get any work doing more location recording for people, I’m thinking this would be a really useful way to provide basic playbacks to people at the time at reasonable fidelity and volume as it can be a bit awkward passing the headphones around to 5 different band members. Actually we’ve been discussing some posts we could do about the different uses of the Octavio. In a couple of weeks time, Jamie and I are due for a family holiday to Middleton (a little seaside town near Adelaide) and I think we should be able to bring a little recording setup (like we did last year) using a tape deck and the Octavio.
