@eaplmx I did both 1 and 2 in the past, it was horrible. 🤣 I might still have that cassette adapter somewhere …
I wonder when I’ll stop buying CDs. It’s getting rare(r), I admit that. And it is taking up a lot of space, that is annoying, I agree.
The most annoying part about CDs and DVDs is that they have an expiry date, too. Many of my Star Trek DVDs no longer work. 😡 The same goes for some audio CDs I bought ages ago. I mean, sure, those CDs are close to 30 years old, that’s a long time! But still, they silently turn into garbage. 🫤 You *have* to make backups – so you might as well buy FLAC files directly.

@movq what was horrible ? audio quality, troublesome setup ?
What did you use for FM transmission ?
I wanted to setup one in my university so it's a kind of pending project
@movq Oh, thanks!
I'm aware that those cheap devices FM have awful quality and low range.
I'm thinking of something like: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/05B-Transmisor-estaci%C3%B3n-0-138-supermercado/dp/B0B251XK2R/
But I'm seeing bad reviews, on a lot of static and bad audio quality. And again, now Bluetooth has much better quality than FM can give, so it's more for nostalgic purposes, like LoFi music, artificially adding noise.
For DVDs, damn, we'll need to make backups, especially for content hard to find again Who would think?
I don't want to derail this Yarn, so please fork this when you see it 😅 -- Speaking of FM Transmitters and what not, I _actually_ have a new project I'd like to build with two requirements:
- Some kind of small compute device that can be powered either via USB or 12V DC Socket
- A built-in FM transmitter so I can stream a subset of our own music (we'd copy form our NAS initially).
- A way to stream Plex into the HDMI input of a small portable TV screen (also powered by 12DC)
