...and to listen to songs at work

One way to listen at work is to use the AC adapter, and connect a set of headphones to the line-outs on the back of the empeg. However, the line-outs will NOT drive a full-size set of headphones (the instruction manual cautions against this) -- there just isn't enough wattage available. They WILL drive a set of walkman-style headphones -- the type that fit inside your ears, IF they are good quality low impedence headphones. I use a set made by Optimus (about $20--$25 from Radio Shack) and my volume settings with the headphones are exactly the same as I use when the empeg is in my car. Sound quality is good, and with the headphones you won't annoy fellow workers. Just get in the habit of always taking off your headphones before walking away from your desk!

I use my empeg at least 8 hours a day at work in this fashion, plus an additional 70 minutes or so a day commuting to and from work (see attached file here
