Is there a device which can plug into the headphone jack of a stereo and send a bluetooth signal to a bluetooth speaker? I'm looking and a bit confused if this is a thing.

I have an older stereo in the house and would love to broadcast what I'm playing inside to the porch with a wireless setup.

This is what I use:

See. I am still confused. I really don't understand this stuff so I apologize if I'm being obtuse.

I would like to play a CD from my old stereo, have a device connected to said stereo which will broadcast wireless, and have a bluetooth speaker paired to my stereo with said wireless broadcasting device.

This will do this?

To clarify I don't want to broadcast from a device (phone, tablet, etc.) and have it play on my stereo. It's the other way around.

Ahhhhh....I misread.

I have wired speakers on my porch and use this to play music from my devices via bluetooth, not broadcast to bluetooth. Again, sorry.

[Ben Staad]

Understood. Likely will be easier to just buy a new stereo.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, you can get bluetooth transmitters that plug into headphone jacks and will send bluetooth signals to your speakers.

Very cool. Thank you.

I appreciate the assist. I was having such a hard time finding something like this. It appears to be exactly what I am looking for.

Anyone else tired of Superhero/Comic Book movies? I'm seeing commercials for Black Adam and it's not doing anything for me. As a sub genre to action films they may be fine but I greatly miss dialogue, story, and semblance of reality in my movies.

I feel like these style of movies have turned straight into CGI fests with little beyond them. Watching the commercial it's like watching a video game with actors faces stuck unto the characters.

Yeah, I almost fell asleep watching some CGI movie that was nothing but explosions, chases, more explosions...I need a story, not a video game.

What do you call books with flaps like these. The two books I have are Heather, The Totality by Matthew Weiner and The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami. I tried searching with various terms and had no results so I am now posting here for an answer.

I think I would just call these fold-outs. I don't really know if there is a correct name or not. I'd be interested to hear from others as well.

I just saw this over on the collectors forum and wanted to share it here. RIP Ned Dameron. One of the best and you will be missed.

Bowling Pin A.jpg Turn out the lights the party's over, let the wild rumpus begin! Today is my first day of retirement, 41 years as a Librarian, 33 years at Henrico County Public Library. What a long, strange, wonderful trip it has been!!
