I've been thinking about getting myself a nice speaker for Christmas on which to play my rather eclectic music collection BUT I haven't a clue how to get the music from my phone (or any other device) to a speaker wirelessly.

I'm too embarrassed about my dimness to ask in real life. Any ideas, wise gransnetters?

I go to a dance class and sometimes we want music to dance to that we don't have. I download it from I tunes for under £1 onto my I- pad and play it through a Bluetooth speaker I got in Curry's sale for £30. It is brilliant, good sound quality and the sound fills a large hall. The speaker is rechargeable via a computer then plays for 8 hours.
I just looked at Currys and they don't seem to have it anymore but there are plenty of similar items at a reasonable price.

I bought this one for DH last Christmas. It wasn't cheap but we have tried the cheaper versions and the sound quality has always been poor once you turn the sound up. I have to say that the sound quality from this little gizmo is fantastic (as you would expect from Bose). The price tag of £169 is a bit frightening but I managed to get one with £20 off last year and it is worth every penny.

gillybob I've just bought that one for DH's birthday next week. Hope he will be as happy with it.

Oh I am sure he will love it baubles DH uses his regularly and the sound quality is fantastic considering how small it is.
