Garage tunes upgrade

Recommended Posts

Sparky

 So all I have is a AM/FM tuner receiver in my garage…sometimes the FM stations really stink, playing the same stuff over and over and over. I don’t have a CD player or a tape deck. 

  Just bought this Bluetooth adapter thingy that plugs into the back of my tuner (I chose the CD player inputs) and catches the Bluetooth signal from my cell phone so I can stream Pandora thru my tuner. 
  It’s powered off the 110 outlet on the back of my receiver so it’s “off” when I kill the receiver. 
  Two minute hookup and I’m blasting Greta Van Fleet thru the speakers :music-rockout: .

 Do you use any music apps? I only have Pandora but I really like it and use it in my car and truck quite a bit. 
  This adapter would be perfect for your system.

I have in the past. 

I VERY rarely listen to music outside of the shop and I've always been in the habit of using the CDs. 

That would be awesome though....

ALL that library available.....

I've been digitizing my vinyl and ripping CDs to get digital copies on a thumb drive.  Both of our vehicles can play music from the thumb drive and I have an ancient tube type Zenith amplifier in my shop in Mo. hooked up to a computer.

 

That thumb drive has enough songs on it that if the song randomizer would cooperate, no song would be repeated during a typical 14 hour drive between Mo. and Mi.  That thumb drive is not yet full.

I use Pandora…the free version. So they do air a couple ads now and then. Nowhere near as bad as any of my local FM stations.
