Hello,
What do you play your music on. I like to hide most of my stuff and leave just the things that i use during the booking. I work from hotels and want to keep luggage to a minimum. Whats the best way? Do you play on your phone, laptop or do you carry a music player. I tried on my work phone but it gets interrupted by incoming calls. On laptop i have other work related things saved so i keep it hidden. I am curious what others do.
Thank you

If you have the music on your phone and are not streaming it would you be able to put it on aeroplane mode
I'm not sure if an auto reply to calls and texts might stop them from interrupting if you are streaming. I couldn't find a good auto reply for iPhone but I've got a good one for Android if you need the link x

I have one of those Bluetooth speakers, I connect iPad/phone to it and play music through it. I put m devices on do not disturb mode and hide them in room. So if client does steal where the sounds coming from its only the speaker he steals and not my phone.
My speaker is a Betron, cheap version of a Alexa.
-
Good ideas, thanks you ladies. xx
-
I shopped around and found the smallest cd player which sits in the corner of my room and that plays anything I am in the mood for during bookings. Nothing there to worry about if I leave the room for a couple of minutes.
-
I now have a small cube which plays 1 CD that's all .
It's quite reasonable quality sound .
-
An iPod Touch in a little speaker stand (only 20 quid from amazon, but pretty decent sound).
-
I use hotel tv radio. Kiss, kisstory or radio 1xtra. LOL
I seem really cheap now.
never had any complaints tho saying that ;D
-
be careful with bluetooth etc, i had a blue tooth speaker to stream nice relaxing music and realised it comes up with 'my real life name's iphone' and is discoverable... one day a client was looking at their phone and was asking 'oh which type of phone do you have' and i got vv paranoid so be careful. Also do not disturb/plane mode is a lifesaver xxx

A really old ipod and dock which I bought 7 or 8 years ago.
I also have a little tin amp speaker for outcalls.

It's no bad thing - at least you haven't got anything there for them to nick!
When I've been in this situation I've always stuck Radio 3 on - it sounds like an odd idea, but there's very little talking and the music can be lovely even if I haven't got a clue what I'm listening to. Plus the background is very white, so it helps with lighting if the room's a bit dim with only the lamps on :).

I bring my Google Chromecast dongle with me, plug that into the hotel room TV, then cast my playlist from my phone to the TV.
However I'm thinking of buying either Google Home speaker and bringing that, or buying a Sonos speaker. I drive to all my tour destinations so I'm not too bothered about bringing extra luggage. I currently travel with a portable lighting rig, toaster oven, kettle, cooler box, LED manicure kit and about 400 towels :D

I use the radio on the tv. I usually have Kerrang! on but will put something more ?suitable? on depending on who turns up lol
-
Hotel radio
radio 6 if they have digital... radio 3 if not....
-
I usually use the TV for music or background noise. I've had BBC Parliament on before when I've wanted to catch up on politics and forgot to change it over, but it didn't cause a complaint.
-
I use a second phone with memory for music, it occupies little place and is discreet ...

I once made the mistake of leaving the TV on during the news. A client arrived and we were just getting down to business when a story came on about a bloke convicted of multiple child rapes in the local area. Talk about a boner-killer.
I remember a couple of years ago I did an outcall with a guy who basically wanted arse worship for almost the whole booking. I mean he booked an hour and 55 minutes of that was him burying his face in my arse. He'd put the TV on when I arrived so I spent 55 minutes watching Rick Stein's Long Weekends and memorising the recipe for Chicken Parmentier.

This is hilarious 😁😁😁

Disco all the way... All clients love it and even sing along lol
-
My alexa. I know have been reported issues of recording but i tell clients i have an alexa on arrival.
Great fun being able to adjust the music without much faffing and sometimes they choose the music themselves if offered even wound up playing ganes on her with clients between music

Thats my idea of an ideal session.
But yeah I mostly play chill play lists on YouTube on my laptop which I feel fairly safe having out during an appointment in a hotel as I'm always in the room with them or like Amy I sometimes put on radio 3. I'm really sensitive to noise and ordinary radio stations jingles and random interspersed chit chat put me off my stride, as it were. And I do a lot of fetish and domination so classical music helps with the atmosphere.

The Hits Radio in the freeview play a variety and it’s got good bass :D ;D

I usually have a music channel on the TV but in the absence of a good one (yes you, Freeview, 4music is supposed to be music and not the fucking Kardashians) I'll use the radio on the TV. I do have a little bluetooth speaker which is great, I especially like that for when the soundproofing in the room is shit. I place it close to the door so anyone walking past ie nosy housekeeping will hear the music before any conversation or anything else!
Sometimes I'll have the TV or a film on, I would advise against nature programmes lol! Was quite nice the other day I had a 2 hour booking with a lovely guy who was very keen to get started, then wanted to chill for quite a while so watched a bit of TV. Can't complain!
;D

I just play on my phone then put it out of reach somewhere.
