Prelude music feed for units w/o pianist

Post by WML4LIFE »

Is there a feed or method small units can use, that do not have a pianist? We currently put a cell phone near the microphone and play from lds library. We used to get BYU feed, but no longer available.

Are you looking for a source for the music or for a technical solution to connect a wire from a device to the PA system?

If the latter, if your building doesn't have a pair of RCA jacks that are unbalanced line-level inputs to the PA system, you can use a crab box between whatever device you're using and a microphone input.

Quite a few church organs have built in hymns. You might check to see if yours has that.

If you use the Sacred Music app, you can go to a list of songs (such as Hymns) and tap the shuffle button at the top to play hymns continuously in a random order. You can also go to a folder (like Music from General Conference) and press the shuffle button there to play choir music back to 2008 in a random order.
