You mean I have to eat the plant after it plays music for me?
What happens when you get a plant tuned up just how you like it, and it dies? I mean, I have been using my old-fashioned Sony speakers for like 15 years now, and they are still working. Unless you hook it up to a bonsai tree with some staying power, how useful is it if you need to change your speakers every time they die?
There can't be an universal frequency for all plants so you must calibrate the 'loudspeakers' depending on the plant you're playing trough. And when the plant grows. Guess what?... Recalibrate! And even if you calibrate it like a jedi master the sound will be more like the Ents from The Two Towers than from a speaker.
