AliceD Audiotrip - How to sync 8 mediaplayers

[brunopilz]

Hello,

I am designing a big Alice in Wonderland Audiotrip for the FIDENA-Festival in Bochum where I coordinate 8 timesynced players with audioguides. Because I know at which moment each player is where, i can guide them to interact with each other (conecting people .

The show is called Alice D and the participants will come one by one every 7min to join a Mad-Tea-Party in an old, mysterious park where they get a Mad-Tea™:-) after which they start to hear things that aren´t really there, like the invisible rabbit who comes to pick them up and guides them through that park/their conciousness.

There are different moments which are synced - like when I toast the Tea-Glass with them they hear a magic pling-sound or I do pantomime-things which really sound. Also they are for example told to close their eyes and throw sth like an imaginated feeling into the lake they are staying at - another player throws a real stone in the same moment, so that player1 sees concentric waves after opening his eyes.

The show plays with a kind of back-to-the-future-going-back-in-time to be at the same moment at different places - so everything that happens to them they have to do later to another player.

- and yes, it is possible! i already made two of those Audiotrips with up to 4 synched Mp3-players! here i did one for 2players:

Dejavú - YouTube ...and yes it sounds maybe a bit strange, but hey, it´s about Alice in Wonderland!

BUT it is not too easy to start these cheap Mp3-Players at the exact(!) same timing.

So I now got 15 Nokia 6500(and5000) Phones sponsored from a big company (I can´t name yet) to realize that project. The only problem: I got them - but too late, so now I am in France to play at another festival and I have to see how I can use them from here.

Does the mp3/media-player from the Nokia6500/5000 has a wakeup/alarmclock-function?

Or can I maybe use a bluetoothremote to start them all at the same time?

Or is there maybe a better, more easy way?

Thanks a lot for your help!

For anyone who´d like to come: Alice D - a hyperactive Audiotrip through Wonderland - 1.&2.10. at the Fidena in Bochum. Tickets are very limited :-)

Very best wishes, Bruno Pilz


SO - THE QUESTION IS: HOW CAN I START 8 DIFFERENT N6500 MEDIAPLAYERS SIMULTANEOUSLY - EACH WITH A DIFFERENT TRACK!?

Now i finally have the phones and it is not the 6500 but the 6650!!! I managed to send an Mp3 file via bluetooth but now i am stuck to set it as alarm - and to sync the clock of the phone with my computers to get multiple phones in sync.
PLEASE HELP!
Thx, Bruno
